I am so excited about today’s blog post on my tutorial of a Spring home decor piece. I am joining in with some blogging friends in a DIY Spring Challenge. Not only will I be sharing a Spring DIY but 5 other bloggers will be sharing theirs as well. A huge thank you to Shae from Sweet Southern Grace in hosting our challenge. Be sure to view all of my friend’s Spring DIY at the bottom of my page.
DIY Cherry Blossom Tree
To create a Cherry Blossom Tree, you will need the supplies below.
- Thick branch to resemble a small tree (I am using a faux base of a Ficus tree)
- 10 blossom stems (I am using 10 blossom stems from Dollar Tree)
- Brown floral tape
- Hot glue gun and glue
- Wire snips
- Drill and drill bit
I removed the green branches from the faux Ficus tree by pulling the leaf bundles out of the base.
For those who do not have a faux Ficus tree around, go out in the yard and find a nice size branch with good bones to make a tree base.
Directions:
Create blossom bundles:
Bundle your stems to form clusters, I am using 4 of the Dollar Tree stems for each bundle with floral tape.
I made three bundles for the top of my tree. Placing each bundle in the slots where the green bundles were securing them with hot glue.
The tree is starting to take shape.
Create single blossom stems
Drill holes into the branch for single stems.
I stripped the end of the stem to expose the wire, hot glued the end and poked the glued wire into the drilled hole.
For my tree, I had a hard foam bulb at the bottom. I took a hammer and chipped it away from the branch.
I can’t believe how easy this DIY was and how pretty my Cherry Blossom tree turned out. Yesterday, I shared the front entryway where I styled the tree. Did you see the post, if not here is the link to my Easter Entryway. EASTER ENTRYWAY INSPIRATION

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
I love this idea. I have a bunch of cherry blossom branches, too! Perfect for Spring.
Glad I gave you an idea on using your cherry blossom branches. Happy Spring Denise.
Terrie this turned out great. Very smart and pretty idea.
Thank you sweet friend. Happy Easter to you and your family.
Your cherry blossom tree is so cool, Terri! How creative and what a fabulous idea! You certainly have the wheels in my brain churning! Imagine making a couple of these for your front entrance outside! How beautiful would that be!
That’s a great idea Gail. I do have another old tree up in the attic. 🙂 Thanks for your sweet comment.
Wow! This is a major transformation! You always amaze me Terrie. Such a great way to revamp an old tree. Great job and thanks for sharing!
Thanks Tammy. I do like trying to create expensive items on a budget. I am glad to share and inspire people. Happy Easter!
