These Crepe Paper Forsythia Branches offer a wonderful introduction to branch building, flower placement, and natural movement within an arrangement. Additionally, our accompanying video workshop offers an opportunity to work together as you learn new techniques and master skills to take with you to other projects. We want this flower series to be more than a fun crafting challenge, but also a place for you to build community as you create.

And though these forsythia branches may look difficult to create, this project is surprisingly approachable once you settle into the rhythm of the blooms. Using heavy crepe paper, you’ll shape each four-petaled flower directly onto the stem while gradually building fullness and variation along the branches. Additionally, subtle differences in openness and placement help each bloom feel organic and true to nature. Lastly, the lightweight structure makes these stems especially versatile for styling throughout your home.

One of the things we love most about these Crepe Paper Forsythia Branches is their ability to brighten an arrangement. While fuller flowers often provide volume, these graceful stems create height, energy, and movement instead. Consequently, they pair beautifully with statement blooms and softer garden flowers alike.

As the opening flower in the master class collection, our Crepe Paper Forsythia Branches lay the groundwork for the projects ahead. Soon, you’ll continue exploring color variation and painterly detail with our Crepe Paper Apricot Lemonade Cosmos before eventually moving into the lush abundance of our Crepe Annabelle Hydrangea.

Once your branches are blooming beautifully, share them with us in the crafters’ community and on social using #MadeWithLia.
