Though we consider this an intermediate to advanced project, our video tutorial makes these Crepe Paper Juniper Branches a fun challenge for all skill levels. Together, we’ll shape, curl, and assemble your branches into beautiful seasonal decor. To start, you’ll trim your crepe paper pieces, form individual needle clusters, and layer them along floral wire until your branch takes on that familiar, feathery fullness unique to juniper. While the steps are detailed — don’t worry — we’ll be with you every part of the journey!

Juniper has a long and meaningful history across cultures. For instance, it has symbolized longevity, purification, and protection for centuries. Ancient traditions also often placed juniper near doorways or burned its berries as incense to welcome good fortune and ward off negativity. Further, its hardy green needles represent resilience and hope — qualities we can all hold a little closer during the holiday season.

When you're all finished, there are endless ways to display your Crepe Paper Juniper Branches. Arrange them in a simple vase for a clean, natural look. Alternatively, you could also tuck them into garlands or wreaths for added depth. They also make beautiful embellishments for gift wrap, place settings, or handmade centerpieces. 

However you show them off, don’t forget to give us a peek! Share your Crepe Paper Juniper Branches with us using the hashtag #MadeWithLia on your social media platforms, and don’t forget to post in our crafters’ community to get inspired — and be an inspiration to others.
