How to Make Cherry Blossom Lights

Step 7: Finishing up

Place the branch and battery pack into the vase and begin pouring the gravel around it.  Cover the battery pack with gravel but make sure you have access to the switch. It would have been more convenient if the switch for my battery pack had been at the top, instead it was on the top edge so I left that area uncovered.  Unfortunately, I will also need to pull the whole thing out when I change the batteries.

May I ask if you can possibly post pics when its dimmer and the lights are on? That would be wonderful thanks.

The blossoms do give off a fair bit of light so it is hard to get a much darker picture.

This looks really cool. However my concern is the heat from the lights burning the paper.

LED lights don't give off very much heat (that is what makes them so efficient). You can have it on for a long time without being a hazard.

Most of the time I get lost halfway through the instructions, but yours were flawless! I'm really tempted to make this for my bedroom. All I have to do is find the time. Thanks!

These are beautiful. I saw something like this in a store a while back and was thinking about how I'd like to try to make something like that. Your instructions are fabulous---maybe I'll actually get around to trying it someday now.

Looks great! I can't wait to try it. I was looking for something involving cherry blossoms for a bathroom redo. These will be perfect. Thanks!
