Today some ideas for Presidents Day Crafts for you. President Washington could not tell a lie. So the story goes. So, he told his dad that he’d hacked the cherry blossom tree.
Practically unbeknownst to the rest of the world, in the US, the third Monday of February is Presidents Day.
And as it is a federal public holiday in the US, I thought to write today about crafts to do on President’s Day: crochet a cherry tree!
Make a Cherry Tree
Let’s confess some ‘truths’ today on Presidents day, and let’s make a lovely cherry tree.
For kids, there are many ways to make a cherry tree: with rag pipe cleaners, with dots of paper; even simpler by coloring & cutting out a blossom tree coloring page. (ref. https://crafts.kaboose.com/chenille-cherry-tree.html)

Cherry Blossom Crochet Trees
My crochet craft inspiration for you:
- Crochet a tree
- Crochet some tiny colored flowers
- Add the flowers to the tree.
- Add the crochet tree to a crocheted rock, simulating roots while you are attaching one to the other with free-form stitches – as shown.
- Vary the colors and sizes a bit and make a grouping of 3.
And there’s your craft project for today.
