Blossoms

I have been wanting to make faux spring blossom branches ever since I saw Susie Harris make some a few weeks ago. You take cheap blossoms and hot glue them onto real branches. Super cheap and easy!

It was time consuming, but I love the look of the real branches. 

The tree will be perfect to hang my Easter Eggs from. 

I found my flower bunches at Hobby Lobby for 50% off.

 I have a friend that made a blossom tree with me and she found her flowers at the dollar store.

The budding branches were perfect to glue each petal onto.

If you are looking for something a little easier, Martha has a great idea.

Martha Stewart Tissue Cherry Blossom Tree

A few years ago, when I was art (crazy!) mom for my son's first grade class, we made Martha's Stewart's Tissue Cherry Blossom Trees.  The trees in our area were in full bloom and so beautiful. I pruned an insane amount of branches off my fast growing (budding) tree, and lugged them into his class.  I pre-cut the pink tissue into squares so the kids could then glue the folded blossoms onto the branches.

Even though it was a lot of work, the project was fun for the kids and perfect for spring!

The dress is so pretty and would be perfect for spring! :)
