Avocado Craft Made From Cardstock & Tissue Paper
Today’s paper avocado craft idea is just something quirky I came up with this afternoon. Honestly, there really was no “vision” behind it. I was just playing around in my craft space and before I knew it, it was something I couldn’t resist sharing with you all. So on that note, hopefully you see my vision in it and want to recreate it as well! I could easily see this being an easy craft idea for the littles in your home!
To create my pear-shaped friend, all I did was take simple brown cardstock paper, some lime green tissue paper and some glue school to pull it together. Basically I mashed a few craft supplies I already had on hand {and you probably do too} to create this paper avocado friend within minutes.
So friends – enough chit chat from me! Let’s SMASH up our creativity juices and make some one-of-kind quac-themed pieces together! Find all the details and the full tutorial below!
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished avocado slices made from cardstock paper, on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to admire them! #gluedtomycrafts
