Peony POP!

Summer’s hitting its stride. What better way to celebrate than with a new backdrop for your living room, kitchen or summer soiree? Our paper peonies backdrop is incredible; not only is it made with high-quality Paper-Papers products, but they’re also JUMBO! Make an absolute statement this July with your very own peony flower backdrop.

All you have to do is visit Paper-Papers website to download either the SVG or PDF files, then cut. Follow along with our photo tutorial below to learn how to assemble.

For this beautiful backdrop, we used Paper-Papers French POPTONE, Stardream metallic, and basic text weight paper. We are absolutely in love with these papers for our summer crafts! POPTONE offers the perfect thickness to remain firm yet malleable and is super fun and bright. Metallic is perfect for any summertime flower, with a shimmery finish and frosted texture. And we used basic paper to give the interior of the flower depth and contrast. To discover your own perfect paper, browse Paper-Papers’ wide selection here.
