4. Accordion Fold Paper Peony
Peonies are full, lush flowers, and surprisingly they can be replicated using simple accordion folds. This style is perfect for creating dramatic, voluminous flowers that look beautiful in photos, events, and home styling.
Accordion fold peonies use long strips of paper folded back and forth like a fan. Once secured at the center, the petals spread open into a round bloom. By using tissue paper or lightweight craft paper, you can create soft, fluffy textures similar to real peony petals.
You can make large peonies for wall backdrops or small ones for gift boxes and place settings. Soft shades like blush, lavender, and cream work especially well for a romantic or vintage aesthetic.
