- Begin by taking several coffee filters. Stack about five to seven filters together for a fuller bloom.
- Gently fold the stack in half and then fold it in half again, creating quarters.
- With scissors, round the edges of the folded filters while they remain stacked.
- Unfold the filters partially to create a layered look.
- If you’d like to add color, dip your paintbrush in water and gently apply it to the filters.
- Take your floral wire and twist it around the center of the folded filter, securing it tightly.
- Slowly pull each layer of the filter upwards, starting from the bottom.
- Wrap floral tape around the wire stem, moving from the base of the flower downwards.
- Adjust the petals with a gentle hand to achieve your desired look.
- Your peony comes to life! Find a lovely spot for it in your home.
