Faux Cherry Blossoms

It's almost Easter, but chilly temperatures in Virginia have kept the cherry blossoms closed up tight! No worries! We made some pretty faux blossoms with branches, tissue, and glue.
Here's what you need:

• Colored tissue paper (we used light pink)
• Bare branches (this time of year our birch trees have tons of small branches underneath)
• Hot glue

Cut your tissue into 1 1/2 - 2 inch squares. Fold the tissue in half and pinch into a blossom shape--this is an imperfect art which is why it's so easy! Place a dot of hot glue on the branch and CAREFULLY place and squeeze the blossom onto the glue.

Blossoms should be placed randomly for a natural look. Once you're satisfied with the look, pull away any glue strings and voila! You have beautiful faux branches. Happy Easter!
