DIY Cherry Blossom Wreath

August 24, 2016 By Meegan 2 Comments

Do you ever have a picture in your mind of something you want, but you can’t find it anywhere?  Does it happen to you a lot?  It does to me.

I have been looking for a smallish wreath to hang on my shutter.  I wanted something for Spring for my shutter. But, to no avail-I haven’t found one.  So I decided to make my own DIY Cherry Blossom Wreath.

This is how I made my DIY Cherry Blossom Wreath:

Cherry Blossom Stems

I purchased 2 stems of cherry blossoms from Joann’s.  They were 50% off-AWESOME…  I cut all the little branches off with wire snips.  Easy.

Using floral tape I connected each of my stems together.

Have you ever used floral tape?  You can purchase it at any craft store, or floral supply.

Tip: When you use floral tape, you need to stretch and pull to make it “stick”.  If you just wrap it , it will fall apart and not work.  So make sure to pull and stretch for a good, secure hold.

Cherry Blossom Wreath

I made the wreath in no time at all.  By bending my branches a little, I formed a circle.  Then there was the problem of the green floral tape showing on the brown branches.

To “hide” the floral tape, I decided to hot glue the extra blossoms over it.

You can see that I strategically placed blossoms over the floral tape, and Voila!!  I have a small Spring wreath hanging on my shutter

Do you walk by your newly created craft to admire it?  Confession: I do!  I love when I can picture something and it comes out just as I imagined.

Let me know if you make a DIY Cherry Blossom Wreath. I really would love to see it and hear about your success.
