Peonies are my favorite flowers. They are a little wild looking, yet so elegant. There are so many varieties in both shape and color. I have been brewing on how to make a paper peony from something other than crepe paper, which is no easy task. Here is what I came up with. I picked a text weight paper called Strawberry from Paper Source to make this flower. Friday I will show you some different ways you might use this Peony for Mother’s Day. ~Lia

Love this, but you lost me at Step 10. Not sure of the process of glueing tabs to center………
The layer 4 petals have 2 slits indicated for you to cut. Cross the outer 2 pieces over the center piece and glue. This will form a cup like petal.
Very beautiful flower, thank you for instructions.
Thanks for the great instructions. Making these as decorations for graduation. Impressed with your talent and skills. Keep it coming!

i really want to make this peony and other flowers but i cant seem to download the template =( it doesn’t show up..is it not available anymore?
At the end of this article there is a thin grey button that says “download & print”. If you click that a new window will pop up with the PDF download. If this is not working for you, you may need to try another browser, like Firefox, or make sure your browser is not blocking pop ups. Let me know if this works.
