👍 [Pro Tips]Making Sakura tree

To attach the leaves to the sakura tree more quickly, you can do the following:

  1. Take a sponge and place the sheet with the flowers on it.

  1. Use pointed tweezers to push the flowers out of the sheet. The sponge will cause them to curl.

  2. Apply some glue to the branch of the tree.

  3. Glue the pressed-out flowers onto the branches of the tree.

I was given the tip to apply some glue first and then attach the leaves. But then I had to figure out how to quickly remove the leaves from the sheet, and this works perfectly.

For this build, I used tweezers the most, especially for connecting all the small parts. I also used needle-nose pliers for bending wire and wire cutters to cut the wire.

@Jill_Francisco your welcome. the further you push the flower into the sponge, the more curled it becomes
