[DIY dollhouse miniatures plants printables]
It is said that plants can better the quality of air and impact your mind and body. Whether they actually do or not, house plants can add some great aesthetic to your home. With dollhouses they can instantly add that real-feel to the interior.
This is a very quick project that is easy to do. Add these dollhouse miniatures paper plants to your dollhouse kitchen, dollhouse living room or place them on your dollhouse furnitures.
With this project I opted to do a succulent and Elephant Ear-like plants, both with wide leaves which make them easy to cut with scissors. If you have cutting machines like Cricut and Silhouette then print and cut as many as you like!

[How to make the printables]
Print and cut out the templates. If you don’t have a printer at home, check with your local library, OfficeDepot, OfficeMax, Kinko’s, FedEx office or anywhere similar if they can print the PDF file/s for you.
Carefully cut the templates out. The leaves are in pairs – each pair can be glued at the back to make the leaves reversible. Fold the stalks along the dots in half length-ways to make them reversible, then tuck the stalks in between the reversible leaves before glueing the leaves
Make a small cut (there is a white line) in the soil of the plant pots where the plants can be slotted in. Glue the pots
Succulents – fold them in half and glue the back to make them reversible
Put the plants in the pots
Tip: it’s much easier to handle the plants if you tie multiple stalks at the bottom with a little bit of tapes.
Enjoy!
