Paper Plum Blossom Wreath

A DIY Wreath to Welcome Spring

Plum blossoms grow all across East Asia, and they are seen as a symbol of the changing seasons. They start blooming in late winter and have long been significant part of East Asian art and culture. As our homage to these gorgeous blooms, our first wreath for the approaching season is a plum blossom wreath. The soft pink petals are perfectly paired with our rich green Cypress colored leaves to make a stunning piece of home decor that will last for years to come!

Tips

Before starting a crepe paper project, we always like to recommend that beginners check out our Crepe Paper 101 video, where you can learn our favorite tips and tricks for cutting petals and stretching the paper. Wreath projects are fabulous because they give you lots of freedom to create your own arrangements. To recreate this plum blossom wreath, place the branches so that they radiate out in the same direction with the majority of blooms on the outer edge of the wreath. This will give it that beautiful abundant look that celebrates the spring season. You are welcome to play around with different sizes of wreaths too – you should be able to find a nice selection of grapevine forms at your local craft store.
