Though these Crepe Paper Morning Lilac Peonies are designed with intermediate makers in mind, we love seeing our beginners tackle more challenging projects. To create the petals, you’ll stretch the crepe almost 100% before cutting, which thins the paper into a wispy, lightweight texture. As a result, the heavy crepe paper then transforms into petals that look strikingly natural and true to life.

In many cultures, peonies are celebrated as the “king of flowers." They're also admired for their fullness and abundance. Their generous blooms have also made them a favorite in wedding bouquets and festive arrangements. Additionally, by crafting them in morning lilac hues, we’re capturing a fresh, radiant twist on this classic flower — one that feels perfect for brightening cooler autumn days or celebrating the height of summer.

Your finished Crepe Paper Morning Lilac Peonies would look so lovely in a simple vase as a statement piece or in combination with other seasonal florals. Whether you let them shine on their own or as accents for a larger arrangement, their vivid lilac tones and layered petals are sure to draw the eye.

We know your take on our Crepe Paper Morning Lilac Peonies is going to be amazing, and we’re so excited to see them. So be sure to share your finished flowers with us on social media using the hashtag #MadeWithLia, or post them in our crafters’ community.
