According to ancient beliefs, a branch of cherry blossoms symbolizes the purity and tenderness of a young girl, a homemaker and a future mother. With the first spring sun and warm days, cherry blossoms and pleases the eye with its beauty for a long time.
I present to you a simple and detailed master class for the manufacture of 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 this case, it can be 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: pick up corrugated paper in delicate pastel colors; on thin plain paper draw patterns for the petals, leaves, and stamens, then cut out each pattern.
2. Cut corrugated paper for petals and leaves into small rectangles of equal size. For further production of stamens, cut corrugated paper into small squares.
3. Carefully flatten the rectangular blanks for the petals in the center by “rolling” them on a pencil or on the blunt side of the scissors blades.

4. Fold the blanks for the petals and leaves on top of each other in an even pile, place the template on top and carefully cut out, cutting out a large number of petals or leaves at a time. Cut square blanks for stamens along one edge into thin strips.
5. Lightly crush with your fingers and twist each blank in the center into a kind of tourniquet. Coat the base of the blank with stamens with a thin layer of glue and carefully fold it, as shown in the photo.
6. Glue three blanks of petals 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 on the branch one by one. Let the glue dry and straighten each individual flower.

And not only cherries, but also bird cherry, plum and even aspen can bloom under New Year. Don't believe? But what about the familiar from childhood, “They say that on New Year’s Eve, whatever you wish, everything will always happen, everything will always come true ... You just need to make an effort, they say!” So we will apply them in order to inhale the smell of tangerines in half with the aroma of spring flowers on the most magical night of the year!

In the old days, girls cut cherry branches a month before the New Year and put them in the water. If for the holidays the twigs were covered with pale white flowers, this was considered a good sign. Yes, in ancient times there were many customs and rituals that the ancestors could not scientifically explain, referring to the "otherworldly" force, considering them miracles or indications of fate. Now we know that branches of the same cherry without any magic can bloom in our house not only for the New Year, but also for any other holiday or celebration.

branch to branch

So, we go for “blanks” to the personal plot or examine the adjacent territory near the high-rise building - “cultivated” cherry or plum trees must grow there. Cut off the branches you like with a very sharp knife, but in no case break off. The fact is that at the site of a break or after a cut with a blunt knife, the conductive vessels that deliver water to the kidneys and leaves can be damaged. At home, "amputated" branches should be cut again, this time under running cold water.

flower to flower

If you brought cut sprigs from frost, first place them in a bucket and take them to a cool place where they will thaw slowly. Then put the prepared twigs in a vase or jar of water and place in a warm place. Do not forget to change the water every day, otherwise it will rot. Now it remains a week to wait for the swelling of the buds and the whitening of their tips, emerging petals. After another seven days, the branches should bloom. The buds will develop and open faster if the branches are often sprayed or each time you change the water, immerse them in slightly warmed (not hot!) Water. Flowering can continue for one and a half to two weeks, it depends on the purity of the air. Do not smoke in the room where they bloom - tobacco smoke will destroy beautiful flowers.

Branches from almost any tree, the buds of which appear earlier or simultaneously with the leaves, can bloom in a vase. But a pear or an apple tree can indulge in its flowering much less often, because, according to the law of nature, snow-white or pinkish flowers appear much later than the leaves.

cold attack

Girls in the old days cut branches for a reason a month before the New Year. And the reason here is not only the magic of New Year's Eve - just the twigs of fruit and berry trees by this moment could have been properly frozen. The thing is that under the influence of cold, all active processes in the life of plants are significantly accelerated. This explains that their "spring" awakening can be caused much earlier after artificial freezing. Therefore, if we have not yet touched nature, we ourselves can arrange a cold attack for the future "flower garden". Place the cut branches (without water!) in the freezer. So you will achieve that all dank autumn and cold winter your house will smell like spring! And in new year's eve compositions of flowering twigs will decorate the holiday table great!

Narco-cold for flowers

"I once noticed
That winter lilac bushes
Blossomed as if in May,
Do you believe me or not?" -

It was sung in a once popular song. Experts in the flower business claim that this is also possible. In autumn they are dug up and kept in pots in a cold place. As needed, the bushes are taken and subjected etherization, that is, they are kept for some time in ether vapor, and then they are taken out into heat and into the light. And now - in a couple of weeks, the May bouquet is ready! Without this operation, under normal conditions (freezing, and then a vase of water), it is very difficult to make this capricious shrub bloom, because lilac, placed in water without roots, very poorly absorbs the life-giving moisture for it.

Master class "Blossoming cherry branch".

Dear colleagues, I bring to your attention the production of a flowering cherry branch. Flowering twigs in a vase look fresh and spring-like, but it’s a pity to cut off such beauty, so I propose to create a spring mood with the help of dry twigs, of which there are a lot on the ground. Such a branch can be made with children of the senior and preparatory groups.

To make this craft, we need: dry branches beautiful shape, paper white color, and green for leaves, scissors, glue gun, PVA glue, ruler, pencil.

In creating such a flowering branch, everything is extremely simple, first we need to prepare ribbons, the width of which will be -4 cm.

From white paper, fold the ribbon with an accordion in order to get several flowers at once.

Now cut out flowers with five petals.

Then you need to glue two flowers together, you just need to drop a little glue on one of them, and glue the other flower to the first one.

Having prepared the flowers and leaves, you need to glue them with a glue gun to a dry twig.

As a result, we will get a beautiful and bright flowering cherry branch that will decorate your interior.

Good time everyone. This year, for the matinee on March 8 music director offered us a dance with lilac branches and tulips. Options.

In this article I will tell you how to do it yourself cherry blossom branch with lights of light. Here I will give detailed description how to make this craft for children and it rightfully takes its place in the Do it yourself section.

I love the branches of the cherry blossoms, how they bloom merrily every spring on the trees that surround my house. I wanted to bring the beauty of the cherry blossom branch indoors, so I took a few, made tissue paper flowers, and made them even more special - I added LEDs.

This glowing craft is quite inexpensive and easy to make yourself. Flowering branches and wisps of light are mostly made from materials found in the dollar store. You can use a few branches of old cherries and use them to decorate your room.

Step 1. What you need.

White LED Christmas lights (battery powered), you can buy them on sale after Christmas is over.
Tissue paper (shades of white and Pink colour), you can use embossed paper from gift bags, it will do if it is crumpled.
Branch (I used flowers from the dollar store to make a real branch).
packing tape Brown color, 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 a vase in which you can cut a hole to insert the plug through the bottom.

Step 2. We fix the LEDs.

I trimmed the buds, flowers and extra branches so that the light spreads 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.

Step 3. Preparing tissue paper.

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, cut 4 layers of paper into 3" by 3" squares.

Step 4. Cut Out Flowers.

Fold each square (from 4 layers of fabric) in half. Fold the strip from the half of the square in three, bending it as shown in the photo into a cone, aligning it along the edges. Use scissors to cut a semi-circle 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.

Step 5. Setting flowers on the branch.

The cheap flowers I bought at the dollar store that I 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 this, or if you're using real flowers and you'd like diffused light on the LEDs, you can sand the surface of the LEDs, or put a dab of glue on it.

To collect flowers on a branch, thread the LEDs through the holes of the flower, and secure to the branch with tape. After that, I glued plastic stamens to the LED. When the glue dries, the rippling layers of tissue paper, stamens, and heart-shaped LEDs will look like a real cherry blossom branch.

Step 6. Decorating the branch.

Wrap the twig with colored brown ribbon (preferably matte and mint) starting from the top flowers and working down the twig. Apply the tape tightly and not in several layers. Close the barrel and wires up to the battery.
