Step 1

First, click here for the design in Cricut® Design Space™.

Step 2

Cut shapes from paper.
TIP: Watch the prompts on your machine to switch from your scoring wheel to your fine-point blade and when to change papers.

Step 3

Fold along the scoring lines, back and forth, like an accordion.

Step 4

For the Dill (green) frond shape, hot glue the semi-circle shapes to the middle shape. Now, add a small dab of hot glue between the folds along the bottom of the middle section, on the back, and pinch them together so your frond shape forms. Let glue set then set aside.
TIP: Use a binder clip to hold shape while hot glue sets.

Step 5

For the larger ivory fan palm, hot glue together along one of the longer sides to make a wider accordion-folded rectangle. Find the middle and fold in half. Hot glue the two folds together, as shown, and let glue set. Fan out your shape.
TIP: You fan should be able to fan out to a semi-circle shape.

Step 6

For the smaller ivory fan palms, find the middle and fold in half. Hot glue the two folds together, as shown, and let glue set. Fan out your shape.

Step 7

For the large kraft palm, glue the two accordion-folded rectangles together along one long side. Next, add a dab of hot glue along the tabs, across the bottom, of one half and pinch together; then repeat with the second half. Finally, add a dab of glue between the two-tab sections and glue together and shape out your palm.

Step 8

Plan how you want to hang your palm shapes from your natural stick.

Step 9

Cut six lengths of yarn and tie one end of the yarn to each palm shape.
TIP: If needed, hot glue and excess yarn ends to the back of your palm shapes.

Step 10

Add a bead (or a couple) to the yarn attached to a few of the paper palms.

Step 11

Tie the other end to the natural stick. Trim ends as needed.

Step 12

Add a hanger. Cut a long piece of yarn and tie to each end of the natural stick.
