How To Make a Tropical Backdrop

This post is sponsored by Cricut, but my love for all things Cricut is my own. 

I’m sure you’ve noticed my absolute obsession with Palm Leaves lately from my PATIO INSPIRATION, DIY BACKDROP FOR BABY SHOWER and this post about DECORATING A BLANK WALL! I just can’t get enough. They make me fee like I’m in the tropics!

So in true obsessive form, I’ve teamed up with Cricut to show you how to make this color Tropical Backdrop!

The first thing you’ll need is a Cricut Air 2! I mean, you REALLY, REALLY need a Cricut Air 2. For this project and every project in your life. I use mine EVERY.SINGLE.DAY!
