Cutting Ivy for Flower Kids' Crafts
Now I'll show you how to make some ivy. The ivy leaf is a three bump leaf there. If you start by cutting a diamond shape like this, and then just cut in here and cut in here, and then the tip like that, and then just round off the bottom. Make yourself a bunch of little ivy leaves. Like the other trailing vine, you want to pierce a hole sort of up the side of the leaf. In and out with the skewer. Prepare all your leaves like that. You don't want to get too close to the edge or it might break through. We'll prepare all our leaves like this, and then we'll put them together. When you have a bunch of these little ivy leaves cut out and you've pierced the holes through them, now we're going to string them on our vines. You want to slide them onto the pipe cleaners all the way down, leaving a little bit of an end in case we want to add something on the bottom there, either a skewer or another pipe cleaner. Slide those down and get a whole bunch on. For the ivy leaf you might want to add some branches, and I've prepared a few branches here. You just do the same thing. You take a shorter section and you weave them onto the pipe cleaner, and maybe put two on each branch. Put them through the holes. Then you can take a skewer or a pencil and just finish off the top of that vine with a little curly-q that you can shape. Then you can add it onto our main pipe cleaner. This way, you could build a very nice vine, a very full, leafy vine. Because the wired pipe cleaner, you can shape it in any way and use that in your floral arrangements. Another nice thing to add to our ivy is a little bit of a curly-q. So this is how you would make it. You want to take a pipe cleaner and a pen. You can use any size pen. If you want a thicker curly-q you'll use a thicker pen, or something thinner use a thinner pen. Just wrap it around like this so you have nice little curly-q thing. You can add that onto your vine anywhere just by twisting it, twisting it on. Then you can shape it as you like.
