Cherry Blossoms and Rapeseed Flowers

Spring is the season when flowers of every color are in full bloom, with not only cherry blossoms but also canola flowers brightening the scenery.

This is a three-dimensional decoration that captures a spring landscape and a sense of elation, with canola blossoms blooming around the cherry trees.

The key is to make each piece out of tissue paper; by adding firm creases while shaping them into flowers, you achieve a soft, dimensional look.

Finish by placing soft pink blossoms on a sturdy cherry tree and arranging yellow canola flowers around it.

You might also highlight spring by adding decorations like fallen petals or butterflies, not just the flowers in bloom.

How about making a fluffy, stylish Christmas tree using tissue paper? First, cut tissue paper in your favorite color into a rectangular piece about one-quarter the original size, then fold it in half lengthwise to make it long and narrow.

Make lots of slits along the folded edge.

After cutting the slits, open it up once, fold it back in the opposite direction of the original crease, and glue it in place.

Make several of these, then take a cone-shaped tree base made from construction paper and wrap and glue the tissue paper around it in tiers.

Finally, decorate with beads and stickers, and you’re done.

You’ll end up with a very whimsical, cute tree, so give it a try!
