    These paper cherry blossoms are easy to make as part of your spring decor. Set them in a vase on your spring mantel or anywhere in the house that you want a little springtime cheer.

    Nothing says Spring more than spring blossoms. This year my spring mantel is super simple. I have the moss wreath previously posted and the paper bird garland. The last additions are two simple paper cherry blossom branches in glass bottle vases.

    Shrub branch, pink and white tissue paper, glue and scissors.

    Making Paper Cherry Blossoms

    Supplies

    • Tissue paper - white and pink
    • White glue - Tacky glue, Elmers or Hot glue
    • Scissors
    Pink and white squares of tissue paper.

    Cut squares of the tissue paper. No template is needed. You don't have to be exact here.

    Squares of tissue paper folding along the diagonal.

    Fold the pieces of tissue paper on the diagonal to make a triangle. I used two pink and a white square of tissue paper sandwiched between the pink. Feel free to experiment here. Use different shades of pink or consider making each blossom different.

    Diagonal squares of tissue paper cut around the points.

    Use scissors to round off the edges. I think this makes the cherry blossoms look more flower-like. However, you could skip this step and have more pointed petals.

    Hand holding tissue paper squares at the bottom and pinching to make a cherry blossom.

    Next, pinch the bottom of the middle of the triangle and twist to hold the shape. Then pull apart the layers and fold or crinkle them to give them a more natural shape.

    Glue the blooms to the buds or anywhere along your branch or twigs. Depending on the glue you may need to hold the flower to the branch for a minute to get it to stay attached. You could also use a hot glue gun but you'd need to be careful you don't burn your fingers.

    Display your paper cherry blossom branches in a vase alone or in a group.
