To make this flowering twig you will need:
- corrugated paper in green, white, light pink shades;
- glue stick;
- scissors;
- wire;
- cotton wool
- a twig without leaves.
Make buds. Cut several pieces of wire 5 cm long. Wind a piece of cotton wool around one of its ends (you can use rollers from cotton swabs). From paper pink shade cut into squares with sides of 3 cm. Wrap them in cotton wool, giving the shape of a bud.
From corrugated paper Cut a green strip and wrap it tightly around the wire. Make leaves. Cut the green paper into 5x3 cm rectangles, then fold them into a stack and cut them into leaf shapes. Wrap the leaf around the wire and secure the edge with glue.
Start making cherry blossoms. Take cream-colored corrugated paper. Cut rectangles measuring 7x3 cm, cut one of the wide edges into several parts, not reaching 1 cm from the edge and twist the resulting strips into flagella. Wrap the strip around a piece of wire. From paper white Cut out 5x3cm rectangles and round the edges to create petal-shaped pieces. Glue 4-5 petals to the blanks with stamens and wrap the wire with green paper.
Combine 2-3 buds and several cherry flowers into a composition and attach them to a branch. Wrap the wire tightly around the base. Decorate the mounting location with strips of green corrugated paper.
To complete this craft, you will need the same materials as for making a cherry blossom branch.
Made from light pink paper white flowers cut into squares measuring 5x5 cm. On one of them, draw a flower with five petals. Place them together in a stack so that the template with the drawn part is on top and cut out all the blanks.
Cut several pieces of wire and wrap a small cotton ball around the end of each. Wrap it in cream-colored paper. Then pierce the flower blank with the other end and pull it towards the center of the flower. Lightly press the underside of the flower against the wire and secure with glue. Then tightly wrap this part with a strip of green corrugated paper, imitating a sepal.
Connect several apple flowers and twist the wire. Tie them to a dry branch. Decorate the mounting location with a strip of corrugated paper brown to match the bark.
In this article I will tell you how to make it yourself branch cherry blossoms with sparkles of light. Here I will give a detailed description of how children can make this craft, and it rightfully takes its place in the Do It Yourself section.
I love the cherry blossom branches, how they bloom cheerfully every spring on the trees surrounding my house. I wanted to bring the beauty of a cherry blossom branch indoors, so I took a few, made tissue paper flowers, and made them even more special by adding LED lights.
This glowing craft is fairly inexpensive and easy to make yourself. Blooming branches and the lights are made primarily from materials found at the dollar store. You can use a few branches of old cherry trees and use them to decorate your room.
White LED Christmas Lights (battery powered), you can buy them on sale after Christmas is over.
Tissue paper (shades of white and pink color), you can use embossed paper from gift bags, this will work if it's wrinkled.
Branch (I used flowers from the dollar store to make the actual branch).
Packing tape brown, for winding the barrel.
Vase *
Sand, gravel or small stones
Glue.
Pliers.
Scissors.
*If you are using emitters that need to be plugged into an outlet, you will need vases that can cut a hole to insert the connector through the bottom.
I trimmed buds, flowers and extra branches so that the light spread evenly. Starting from the bottom, we attach the LED wires to the branch, with a bandage around the trunk. Try to distribute the LEDs evenly along the branch from the battery at the bottom so that there are no excess wires near the batteries.
I used four layers of tissue paper, two white and two pink. You can try multiple layers of fabric or different color combinations.
For each LED you need to cut 4 layers of paper into 3" x 3" squares.
Fold each square (4 layers of fabric) in half. Fold the strip of half a square in three, bending it as shown in the photo into a cone, aligning it along the edges. Using scissors, cut a semicircle from the top of the cone to form a six-petal flower. Make a hole in the center and glue four layers of tissue paper together (just apply glue to the center of the flower, leave the petals separately). See photo as a guide.
The cheap flowers I bought at the dollar store and used had plastic stamens in the center. I managed to place them on the tip of the LEDs so that they spread the light nicely. If you don't have anything like that, or if you're using real flowers and you'd like to get some diffuse light on the LEDs, you can sand the surfaces of the LEDs, or put a bead of glue on it.
To collect flowers on a branch, thread the LEDs into the holes of the flower and secure them to the branch with tape. After that, I glued the plastic stamens onto the LED. When the glue dries, the ripple layers of tissue paper, stamens and LEDs as the flower heart will look like a real cherry blossom branch.
Wrap the twig with a colored brown ribbon (preferably matte and mint), starting from top flowers, and further down the branches. Apply the tape tightly and not in multiple layers. Cover the barrel and wires all the way to the battery.
Master class on making a cherry branch from velor fabric
Author: Grishina Margarita Aleksandrovna teacher additional education CDT "Globus" Sovetsky district, Ufa, BashkortostanSummer is ripening and the cherries are falling
Scattering in the green grass,
The branches stretch higher and higher
Further than the sky in its blue.
The cherries timidly knock on the window,
Hiding my sides from the sun in the leaves,
And swaying on thin legs,
Suddenly they fall down from above.
Cars rush by indifferently
Drawing a crumpled footprint on the ground,
Sticky tires roll fast
By cherry broken fate.
They lie defenseless on the paths
Drops of scarlet juice of the earth,
A curious cat will run by,
A flock of sparrows scurry past...
In spring the trees bloomed,
We took care of every leaf,
The birds were chased, dropping their feathers,
The night turned on the lanterns for them.
The entire window is covering us with branches,
There are a lot of cherries, a big harvest,
I take off the mosquito net
I just can’t get everything, which is a pity...
Sweet and sour intoxicating juice,
Expiring cherry pie
And the dog settled down sideways,
Waiting for the cooled piece.

Let's start making crafts:
Required materials and tools:According to ancient beliefs, the branches of cherry blossoms symbolize the purity and tenderness of a young maiden, a homemaker and a future mother. With the first spring sun and warm days, the cherry blossoms bloom and delight the eye with its beauty for a long time.
I bring to your attention a simple and detailed master class for making delicate decor for your home.
To make a decorative flowering twig you will need:
Freshly cut and dried tree branch;
- Corrugated paper of various colors;
- Hot glue gun (in in this case it can be completely replaced with silicone glue or PVA glue);
- Scissors with thin and sharp blades;
- Paper for making templates for petals and leaves;
- A simple pencil.
1.
Prepare everything you need: select corrugated paper in delicate pastel colors; On thin plain paper, draw templates for the petals, leaves and stamens, then cut out each template.
2.
Cut the corrugated paper for petals and leaves into small rectangles of equal size. To further make the stamens, cut the corrugated paper into small squares.
3.
Carefully align the rectangular blanks for the petals in the center by “rolling” them on a pencil or on the blunt side of the scissor blades.
4.
Place the blanks for the petals and leaves on top of each other in an even stack, place the template on top and carefully cut out, cutting out at a time large number petals or leaves. Cut the square blanks for the stamens along one edge into thin strips.
5.
Lightly crumple with your fingers and twist each piece in the center into a kind of rope. Coat the base of the workpiece with stamens with a thin layer of glue and carefully roll it up, as shown in the photo.
6.
Glue three petal blanks together at the base. Give the leaves a convex shape.
7-8.
Glue leaves and stamens to the base of the flower.
9-10.
Prepare a sufficient number of flowers, let the glue on them dry completely, then glue the flowers onto the branch one by one. Let the glue dry and straighten each individual flower.
