Intro: DIY Sakura Tree

Good afternoon, dear viewers and readers! Today I will show you how to make a sakura tree at home from a regular branch and wax candles.

STEP 1:

Next, take the pot and carefully pour gypsum into it, then fill it with water and mix until it looks like a gruel. Then we insert the branch into the inside of the pot and hold it for a couple of minutes until the gypsum begins to harden.

STEP 2:

Next, melt the wax to a liquid state, stirring everything with a spoon, then let the wax cool for 5 to 10 minutes. This way the wax sets faster on the fingers and is easier to remove. When the wax is very hot, it is very difficult to remove it from the fingers and form sakura flowers.

STEP 3:

Next, let's move on to creating sakura flowers. Pinch 4 fingers together. Dip your fingers in cold water, then dip your fingers in warm wax and dip your fingers in cold water again. Sakura blossom petals will appear on your fingers.

The number of cherry blossom petals can be alternated from one to five.

STEP 4:

Next, we transfer the finished flowers to the twigs while the wax is still warm. When creating a sakura tree, place paper under the bottom of the flowerpot to protect the floor from excess moisture after the wax has cooled.

STEP 5:

After the work done, you can enjoy the finished result. This decor can be used to decorate a table or walls in your living room.

I love the look of the Sakura tree also. It brings such soft romantic touch to a room. That's what I am trying to do with my living room. If I can keep my husband from bring in his talking fish!!! Lol. But thank you this is a beautiful decoration idea.

That's delightful! I am looking forward to making this using a very pale pink (almost white). Thank you for sharing your technique!

I like this for so many reasons, so thank you for posting it. It's such a pretty thing!
It looks as if it will last a long time. The instructions are great because I imagine you have thought 'out loud' while typing them, and the photos clearly show the progression. I would've loved to show this to a small group of older pupils - in the UK I was what we describe as a Primary School teacher, so I could teach any age from 3+ to 11. I'd use bits of scrunched up pink tissue paper and white glue with the littlies, but I'm sure older children could make the wax flowers with adult help.

Good afternoon! Thank you for your comment! I am very pleased that you liked my instruction! I think the children will be happy to repeat this project. This project is not as complicated as it seems at first glance.

It took several hours to create sakura flowers, at first it was difficult, after the first ten it turned out well and quickly. Thanks!
