This crepe paper peonies workshop includes a detailed version of the flower centers and an additional-sized flower between the bud and the full bloom. This updated version also uses double-sided crepe paper for the petals and leaves, giving the finished flower extra charm. For the stem and sepal, I used an extra-fine crepe.

When you’re ready to craft this flower, you can use the pre-made kit with this updated template. Or collect your selection of materials using the list and links in the right-hand column.
