Along with paper flowers and paper plants, I love making my own blooming branches to use as home decor. There's something so satisfying about taking simple materials and transforming them into something that looks like it was just clipped from the garden. This crepe paper quince branch would look beautiful on an entry table, living room console, or dining room table. You could even tuck it into a tall vase on the floor for a dramatic statement piece. If you'd like, you can also add some other crepe paper flowers for a fuller arrangement.

This is a wonderful project for crafters of all levels. If you're new to crepe paper, the quince blossom is a forgiving flower to start with, and working on a branch gives you the chance to practice your technique as you go. By the time you reach the last bloom, you'll notice just how much your skills have grown.

Crafting tip: Use a found branch that has fallen from a tree. The number of flowers, buds, and leaves will depend on the size of the branch. For this crepe paper quince branch, I made 14 flowers and 5 buds. A smaller version could be 7 flowers and 3 buds.
