U for Ugly branches

Remember my Easter blog post? The branches I brought home?

I actually put them in a plastic bottle. The buds are all gone. I promised hubby to get rid of them today. After a bit of brainstorming, I decided to cut them into smaller size and use some and to discard the others.So let us see what my ugly branches became!

I had these beads for some time. Look at them,not great to make any jewelry.Today, they remind me of the small berries, which I saw on some unknown plants

So I decided to add them to the trimmed branches. I used craft wire to attach them to the branches. To me they are berries on the branch.

I put them in the sisal covered bottles. The picture below is not that clear, right? Love to have them on top of my fridge though.

With some small branches, I decided to bring some spring season in to the decor. I have seen the tissue paper cherry blossoms on the Google images. By doing some Googling, I come up with white blossoms of my own. The white paper is the regular facial tissue. Just fold and cut them into 4 squares. Then folded them again into 4 and then from center to the middle corner. Then just cut them into a petal shape. Need to know exactly how to place them on the brach?

I think, they are the most beautiful project I ever done with the branches. It is easy, cost effective and really fast.
