Sakura, Japanese flowering cherry


The birds are chirping, rain is falling, the temperature is getting milder. Can you feel it? Spring is in the air. I was inspired to make cherry blossoms. You can make some too. Take a sheet of paper and cut out a silhoutte of the tree trunks and branches using an exacto knife. Using a 1/8 inch hole punch, make lots and lots and lots of circles out of pink and white paper. Glue dots onto the cutout paper. (I used a fine-tipped glue pen and tweezers to make the process easier.) Place black or brown paper underneath, and frame.
