If you read this post, you know I am having a bit of a problem coming to grips with autumn. It happens every year. I’m all “sunshine and bright colors!!” while the rest of America is all “burlap and pumpkin spice everything!!” This year, I’m bound and determined to marry my love for summer with the reality of fall. This season, all of my projects will be colorful and bold. I’ve never been one to follow rules!
Today, I’m trading in maple leaves for monstera. I used this same leaf pattern for this summer picnic blanket and today they’re getting an autumn-worthy makeover. Rather than pull out your craft knife or scissors, you can create these perfect monstera leaves by heading over to Cricut Design Space where I’ve mapped the entire project out for you.
DIY Paper Monstera Leaves for Fall
Use the Xyron Creative Station to turn the paper monstera leaves into stickers. If you don’t have a Xyron Creative Station, no worries- just use craft glue!
Each leaf has two layers. Adhere to top sticker layer onto the background layer. You’ll have two finished leaves for each monstera leaf.
Use hot glue to sandwich the floral wire between two piece of paper. This will become the stem of your monstera leaf.
Run the floral wire up the entire leaf and then glue the second leaf on top to hide it.
Love these big leaves.
I’m with you, I leave summer kicking and screaming—well at least whining! Fall is pretty but it only lasts about 2 weeks around here and then its winter. Hate, hate winter. Can’t put the capri’s away til I’m seeing snow on the ground. Then moan about how long winter is going to be.
I love color too and can’t wait each spring to get the colorful clothes out. I can’t believe people that wander around all summer wearing black and brown. (just my opinion of course).
Love to see you on tv–wasn’t that you this past Tues on HSN? Love your cheerfulness and laughter
Very smart project!!!

Hello! Love this! May I know where I can get the pattern for the leaf?:) Thank you!
Hello!!! I really think this would be fun to make. When I click on the link I click open design space and the Monstera leaves do not come up in design space. Is there another way to get the file? Thank you!!!
It’s great to have the opportunity to read a good quality article with helpful information on topics of great interest. I agree with your conclusion. I look forward to your future updates.
I can’t seem to get to this project in CDS with either hyperlink – an other way to access these SVGs?
