  • Last week, I posted a video where I surprised my friends with a hanami (cherry blossom picnic) in America. But, making the cherry blossom tree for this event was a bit of a process. I thought that I'd share it with you in case you wanted to create your own cherry blossom tree or a different kind of fake flowered tree in general.

    Please note that these options are not bulk purchases, however, you will not need as many cherry blossom branches if you are planning to make smaller or thinner trees.

    Many people have been inquiring about where I purchased my cherry blossoms for the tree. I used alibaba.com to purchase in bulk, however, only ended up using about half of the 100 pieces I ordered. For those of you looking to create smaller trees or indoor tree options, you will probably not need to buy in bulk. I have linked other cherry blossom options that are sold by Amazon in the description as well as the wire I used to adhere the cherry blossoms to the tree!
    Happy Cherry Blossom Season!

    • @MATOKA
      @MATOKA  Год назад +3

      The exact flowers that I used aren't on the market anymore, but there are very similar ones that are still being sold on Alibaba! If you are buying in bulk, you can ask for samples before making a large purchase, but you honestly don't need 100 units to make a tree similar to mine, I still had 50ish units left after I finished my tree so you can do fine with 50 or less

    • @aishaalbert1604

    I love it!!! I want to make a tree center piece!!! We has cherry blossoms here where I live.... Bees hang out in them and it's scary to be underneath them because you hear all the buzzing and see all the bees. So your tree is bee safe lol and in full blossom all year round!!! I love it!!! I got some branches for my center piece already..... Thank u for your ideas

    • @MATOKA
      @MATOKA  Год назад

      No problem! Bees can still be attracted at first because of the color, but they will usually leave it alone after they figure out it's fake! And with a nice centerpiece you can move it indoors during the winter to prevent wear and then leave it out in the summers!

    Like you, I've had a hard time finding how to do this very thing. I finally found you! How do you think the flowers will weather in time?
    Excellent video. I think we're a rare breed making our own outdoor trees.

    • @MATOKA
      @MATOKA  11 месяцев назад

      The flowers surprisingly hold up really well outside. The biggest issue is if you live in a very dusty area with more wind or have a lot of other trees around that drop sap, pollen, etc, the silk flowers are gonna show that dirt or discoloration. Will still look good from a distance but if you get close up youll be able to see the dirt and it's very difficult to clean. Otherwise I haven't run into any other issues

  • @angelinagandara2574
    @angelinagandara2574 2 года назад

    • @MATOKA
      @MATOKA  2 года назад

      I had a lot left over but probably used about 60% of them. Didn't know how much i would need since it was my first time, but i would say better to have extra than have your tree looking sad 😅

  • @suushi627
    @suushi627 11 месяцев назад

    First off I wanted to say how beautiful this turned out to be! It’s inspired me to a piece for my wife on her birthday. I was wondering though, how long does the real tree branch stay in the shape that it is? Do they typically decay after a while? Cheers mate!

    • @MATOKA
      @MATOKA  11 месяцев назад

      As long as you're not dealing with wood rot, it should last a long time. Make sure that you're not using freshly cut trees or wood, you need to dry them out for a few weeks in order to prevent rot. Using a resin to waterproof the wood also definitely helps! My tree is still going strong outside and I think it's past the 2 year mark!

  • @kunstvereinamdonnerstag2516
    @kunstvereinamdonnerstag2516 Год назад

    Hi, this looks great! Can you tell me how long these blossoms last? will it stay nice for several months?

    • @MATOKA
      @MATOKA  Год назад

      If you keep them inside, they will last forever as long as you dust them from time to time. If this is for outside use, depending on weather they will not last as long, but because they are silk flowers instead of paper, they won't disintegrate from rain or other wetness. They can get dirty outside though and it's really hard to clean them, so indoor use is the best!
