(Don't forget to link up to my Marvelous Mess party....I will be picking one project to feature onmy sidebar for a week!!)
Another really fun craft for kiddos and adults alike is making cherry blossoms from paper. I chose crepe paper for this project mostly because I couldn't find any pink tissue paper.....but I've decided it's great for texture too. :-)

To make these you need:
Pink crepe paper (cut into small +medium circles)
Tree Branch (I used a birch branch for the delicateness of the twigs)
Tacky Glue
~ Take a circle of crepe paper and pinch it around the center. Do the same with another circle.
~Put a dot of glue on the branch tip that you are going to put the blossom on and sandwich it between the two pinched circles. Repeat. And, repeat.....over and over until the branch is covered. Voila!!
I was inspired to do this from Martha Stewart
Her tutorial and blossoms are a bit more high tech.....but they turn out very beautiful.
I shared this post at these great link parties:
