Apple-solutely beautiful
It’s always so delightful to see trees in bloom — from dogwoods to cherry blossoms and more. But sadly these spring blooms don’t last forever, which is why we’ve made many of our own blooming branches over the years. Our paper apple blossom branch will never wilt, and you can enjoy it in your home or office all year long.
Skill level: Advanced due to the small pieces and lots of extra added details to make it look as real as possible
Crafting tip: We used a real branch from a dogwood tree that is about 12-18″ in length.

Leave a CommentBonjour Lia,
je cherche le tutoriel pour apple blossom branch , je ne le retrouve pas , j aimerai le télécharger pour la travailler hors connection. Merci
All of the downloads are in the right column when you are signed in. Can you see them there?
Lia, it seems my eyes are not improving and my retinal specialist has advised me to avoid eye strain until we hopefully get things under control. I am especially struggling with the blur and have diffulty focusing. I am sitting here in tears but I guess it could be worse. I promise if I get to a better level I plan to rejoin. I have so loved my flowers and the community. I will miss you all. Sharon Thimmesch
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Sharon. We are sending you love, all of us here at the studio.
I find that lately Lia and Meagan seem to talk over each other and it’s quite difficult to hear what is being said by one or both of them. I have been viewing several videos lately, some from early on and some from lately and this problem occurs in both times of video. It is quite frustrating. For example at one point Meagen says, “When you have finished this, we are taking our scalloped pinking shears and we are going to pink the top edge of that stamen and you are going to cut the pollen about halfway off. Then Lia says “It’s a generous amount of (at this point both are talking) ???. Then Meagan answers “Yes”. What is that generous amount of, I have no idea. What do you think it is? Again, so frustrating, irritating and even makes me sort of angry because I don’t know what’s going on. I suppose I should view the original video so I can put in my comment to please identify that missing word or part sentence, when that happens. However, when I view the recorded video it has close captioning, which helps me to understand what is going on. I really don’t know if anything can be done!!
Hello Helene,
Thank you for your feedback on our live video filming. I will be more careful not to talk over Meagan. This is something I know I can be more mindful of. And I apologize for this bad habit. I will also ask Meagan to speak up as she often talks quietly.
Note that we do have the photo tutorial for you to reference as well as the video, Hopefully that will help. ~ Lia
Q: How many branches for the floral arranging class should we prepare? This is beautiful! I had my doubts about card stock but I have been won over!
I would prep three. 🙂
The Apple blossoms are gorgeous!!!
Is the blending brush alcohol based?
Thanks for this beautiful project!
No, it is water-based, the same brand as the Karin marker. However, if you use an alcohol marker, you will want an alcohol-based blender.
Hey Pam – I always love Lia’s vases and pots! I’ve found the easiest way to find something similar is to right click on the picture and use the “search image with google” option to look for similar containers online. The best fit I found for these were “Constellation Pierced Ceramic Candleholders” from West Elm but you’ll find tons of similar style items if you try that type of picture search.
I missed the live class (work and all that) but I’m looking forward to watching this video back and making my own apple blossom branch!
Great tip, Amie! Enjoy the class. 🙂
I love your pots. They might be a little leaky for fresh flowers, but lovely anyway. 🙂 They would make an interesting pattern in the room if fairy lights were put inside. Maybe the flowers could be inserted in a small container and wrapped with the fairy lights and then put in the pots. Where did you find them?
The paper pots are made for paper plants. 😉 Hanging them with fairy lights is a cute idea. I am not sure what you are asking about where we found them. What is “them”?
Cool, thanks!
Can I use frosted paper for this?
Yes, you can!
