Asian Homecoming? Entrance with Cherry Blossoms

To create the cherry blossom trees....
#1) Use jigsaw to cut out basic tree trunk and branches with a squared frame around the top (to attach wire to later). Do two that are exactly the same if you want a two sided tree.
#2) Staple chicken wire across the open parts of the tree. If you are doing a two sided tree, do this for both sides. Then line up the sides so the match and use some wood scraps (2x2 is best) as a spacer between the sides.
#3) Add paint details in black to make bark on the wood.
#4) Use white, dark pink and light pink pomps to create the cherry blossoms. You do not need to pomp every hole in the chicken wire. In fact, that can look too crowded.
