I love peonies, but they only last so long. So how about replace the real flowers with something much longer lasting. So here's how to make gorgeous white peonies from coffee filters.
What you'll need:
Coffee Filters
Floral Wire
Floral Tape
Glue (any will do)
Scissors
Take out your coffee filters. Take two or three together and fold them in half.
Fold again towards the right.
Fold over once more.
Last time to fold over. Make sure it's nice and tight. Feel to trim off a little from the top if these are the inner parts of the flower.
Cut off the side of the filter that is folded.
When you unfold the first part, it should look like a heart.
Unfold all of your coffee filters and crinkle them a little bit.
Grab the floral wire and bend it at the top.
Poke a hole into your coffee filters.
Push your coffee filters to the bottom of the floral wire all the way to the loop.
Glue the coffee filter to the floral wire.
Twist the bottom of the of the coffee filters. Repeat steps with more coffee filters.
Once you're done with adding all of your coffee filters and twisting the bottom, wrap the floral tape around the stem and continue down the floral wire.
Fluff out your pedals and TA-DA!
This is what the final product looks like. I kept the background dark so you can just focus on the flowers.
An ugly washed out version.
The final product.
