Cherry Blossoms

DIY

Materials

1. A tree branch 2. Crepe Paper 3. Water Colors 4. Floral tape 5. Scissors 6. Glue 7. Paper flower stamens

Instructions

Step 1
Fold a strip of ivory crepe paper in 5 and cut out the petals like shown in the above template, so we get a connected piece of 5 petals. Make sure the grain on the crepe paper is running vertically on the petals.

Step 2
Make a center by folding a strip of pale green crepe paper in four folds, then fold the stamen in half, and tape 3 of them at the base.

Step 3
Pinch the base of each petal and tape them to the flower center and stamens with the floral tape. Shape the petals gently.

Step 4
If you can’t find the perfect shades of green paper for the leaves, use some diluted watercolor or acrylic paint to tint them, like I did here on the pale green leaves.

Step 5
Use hot glue to attach the flowers and leaves onto your lovely branch, that’s all!
