How to add Cherry Blossom to paper lanterns?

I’m getting married and want to hang paper lanterns from the ceiling. I want an easy way to add a cherry blossom to the plain white paper lanterns, Any ideas would be grateful. The plain lanterns are a lot cheaper than ones with the cherry blossom already decorated on there. THANKS!

Cherry blossoms would be easy to paint on the lanterns. So, you cannot paint?? I am positive if you practiced painting with just a few strokes, you can do this yourself. It is a very simple five leaf pattern.

There are paint brushes you can get in the perfect shape you need to make a pedal. All you do is repeat the one small stroke five times. If you want to add the branches, you can either get a brown thick magic marker and draw it on or brown paint and brush the branches on. The nice thing about nature is that there is no predetermined way the branch goes, so anything goes.

If you google “Cherry Blossom Images” you can see for yourself how simple it would be to duplicate. Or, if you absolutely cannot do this, ask a friend.

Otherwise, you can cut out pink shapes and glue the pedals to the lanterns and still draw or paint the branches.

Remember, these will be hung from the ceiling and as long as the image you are trying to make is portrayed, you will have been successful.
