For beginners, the easiest way to start scolding flowers. Yes, and care for them is simple: it is enough to pour on the product with a hairdryer so that the dust is not.
Sakura
We divide the material on 2 parts: one piece is white, and the other is pink (you can pre-paint in gentle pink color). From each color, we make billet-lumps, as in the photo, for petals, and the white parallers are thicker.
Billets connect each other along the length and cut them into small rectangles.
The base of the petal is made by pink, and the edges are white. For this purpose, we glue PVA, and in the middle with a toothpicks we make a hole for the stem (wire).
From the strokes, previously prepared, it is necessary to form a flower petals, combine them, and inside we make a hole for the stem (wire).
The buds "sit down" on the bowl-leaf green at the base and white on the edges, fasten and make the stem.
The branch of the billet of Sakura should be the same as the real Sakura. Each branch is assembled separately after complete drying. Butons need to be twisted with wire.
