These Crepe Paper Forsythia Branches offer a wonderful introduction to branch construction, flower placement, and natural movement within an arrangement. Additionally, our accompanying video workshop offers the opportunity to work together while learning new techniques and mastering skills to take with you to other projects. We want this flower series to be more than just a fun crafting challenge, but also a place for you to build a community as you create.
And although these forsythia branches may seem difficult to create, this project is surprisingly accessible once you get into the rhythm of the flowers. Using thick crepe paper, you’ll shape each four-petal flower directly on the stem while gradually building fullness and variation along the branches. Plus, subtle differences in opening and placement help each flower feel organic and true to nature. Lastly, the lightweight structure makes these stems especially versatile for styling throughout the home.
One of the things we love most about these crepe paper Forsythia branches is their ability to brighten up an arrangement. While fuller flowers often provide volume, these graceful stems create height, energy and movement. Consequently, they combine wonderfully with both showy flowers and softer garden flowers.
As the opening flower to the masterclass collection, our crepe paper Forsythia branches lay the foundation for future projects. Soon, you’ll continue to explore color variation and painterly details with our Apricot Lemonade Cosmos Crepe Paper before finally moving on to the lush abundance of our Annabelle Hydrangea Crepe.
Once your branches bloom beautifully, share them with us in the crafting community and on social media using #MadeWithLia.
