Sakura cherry blossom bonsai from beads and wire - and love

Cherry blossoms, lush and delicate at the same time, are symbolic of spring - and thus of new beginnings. Seeing the first blossoming cherry tree of the year makes you hopeful and eager. Desire for bright days and evenings, for the first ice cream of the year, for a good mood, a friendly smile - even from complete strangers who, just like you, are just in the mood for spring.

I love cherry trees in bloom.

Do you? Then this enchanting bonsai tree made of delicate glittering beads is the perfect project for you. Because this cherry tree symbolizes new beginnings, hope and desire all year round in your home.

By the way, the bonsai tree as a central eye-catcher and individual branches as a place setting or napkin ring also make a beautiful and symbolic table decoration, not only for weddings.
