Step 1: First, you need to prepare.
- Square-sized paper (in bulk)
- Paper glue, white glue
- Double-sided tape
- Handmade peach blossom branches
Step 2: First, fold the paper diagonally into a triangle (2), then fold the two sides (3) of the triangle into a rhombus (4). Next, fold the two sides to create creases (6).
Once you have the folds from step 6, fold the two edges to form a flower shape on both sides (7, 8). Continue folding the pointed corners down on both sides as in steps (9, 10), and stick a piece of double-sided tape to one side of the folded flower (11). Then bend the two sides together so that the tape sticks to each other, and you will get the flower as shown in the image below (12).
With 5 sheets of paper, fold them into 5 flower shapes as shown in the image below, then glue them together to form a single flower as shown below. You now have a cherry blossom! If you want the cherry blossom to look more realistic, you can use scissors to cut off the pointed end of the branch.
To make the flower's pistil, you can use a round piece of pink-dyed foam, thread a wire through the foam, and insert it into the center of the flower.
Besides gluing 5 branches together to make a cherry blossom, you can also glue 12 branches together to make a flower ball.
