DIY Paper Apple Blossom Branches

This is such a pretty time of year here in Portland. The trees are bursting with blooms in pinks, whites and yellows. To celebrate Earth Day tomorrow, I wanted to add a pretty blooming branch to my dinner table and make something I can use again and again in many different ways. For this project I made two branches that are about the same shape but not attached. My idea was to use them down the center of my table, but now I am thinking of so many other places I can use them. How pretty would these be to decorate a dessert table at a bridal or baby shower? And how about placing them on a shelf or at your desk to give you a little glimpse of nature inspiration as you work. You could easily make 4-6 branches and create a gorgeous garland to decorate a wedding reception. The branches are made from paper covered wire that you can find in your craft store. Because they are easy to bend you could make a wreath for the wall, front door or to wrap around a candle. Share some of your ideas on how you might use this pretty branch.
