Download the FREE Succulent Leaf Printable. Print and cut out each leaf template.
Trace and cut out the succulent leaves from the American Crafts Autumn Cardstock Variety Pack or the American Crafts Primary Cardstock Variety Pack. Use more or less leaves depending on how big and full you want your succulents to be.
Begin hot gluing the succulent petals together. Glue three at a time, spacing them evenly. Continue gluing bunches of three leaves that are all the same size.
Glue various different petal shapes together starting with the largest shapes at the bottom and moving to the smallest on top. Make sure to combine various shades of green together to add visual interest to your succulents.
Keep adding petals to your succulent until you feel like it's as full as you'd like.
Finish by hot gluing the smallest leaves, succulent leaves 5 and 6, onto the top of your succulent. Wrap the ends of your succulent leaves around a horizontal Cactus Pencil to give the leaves some curves. Once all the leaves have been curled your succulents should have a 3D effect to them. Hang your succulents up throughout your classroom and admire your work! Be sure to check out the complete Cactus Themed Classroom Reveal as well as how to make a Succulent and Cactus Bulletin Board.
