diy cherry blossoms

There’s nothing we love more than maximum cute for minimum effort. These teeny-weeny cherry blossoms are made from plain ol’ crepe paper, available from any craft store, and take about a minute to put together.

All you need is a pair of scissors for snipping your paper into petals, a little tape, a few pips and voilà: you’ll have flowers for decorating your desk at work or dotting along the dinner table. Or maybe you could give one to that lovely lass or lad who always takes your train and sometimes nearly makes eye contact with you? Ah, we can’t help being romantic. We’re a bit hopeless like that. Head over to Kootut Murut for all the instructions and a few other lovely DIY projects, too.
