Who’s ready for spring? Y’all after this crazy winter, I’m so ready and can’t wait! Soon we will start to see buds popping on the trees and early daffodils peaking through the soil. I love bringing beautiful Spring flowers into my home as the season starts. They just liven up the home and make everything feel so cheerful after the long, drab Winter. In this post I’m sharing a simple blossom branch you can make for your own home.

 

 

One flowering tree that I absolutely love are cherry blossoms. Since we don’t have cherry trees in our area, I use faux stems. However, faux stems and branches can be really expensive. So, I decided to make my own using this simple DIY project.

Supplies needed:

*Cut branches from your yard {select the size and shape you desire}

*Vase or container to hold the branches

*Tissue paper in light pink & white-2-3 sheets for each color

*Scissors

*Pencil with an eraser

*Glue Gun

 

Step 1

Place your branches in the container and trim as needed.

 

 

Step 2

Cut your tissue paper into 1″- 2″ strips depending on how large you want your blossoms. Layer all the sheets and cut all at once.

 

 

Step 3

 

Then, cut the strips up into squares. They don’t have to be perfect or all the same size. Just roughly cut them into squares, they will look better as flowers if they are more uneven than uniform.

 

 

Step 4

Layer your squares starting with the pink then alternate with a white, another pink and end with the white.

 

 

Step 5

To make the blossom, take the eraser end of a pencil & place it in the center of your layered squares. Then wrap the tissue around the pencil and pinch at the bottom to hold.

 

 

Step 6

 

To attach your flower blossoms, place a dab of hot glue on the pinched end and place on the stem and hold until it adheres. Continue to add your flowers making sure you place them at various angles around your branches. Look for places where you might see some buds. My branches actually had some tiny buds on them already.
