Enjoy our easy Paper Peony Tutorial that’s so easy to follow, you’ll be whipping-up paper flowers in no time!

A DIY for easy paper flowers to give your walls the “oomph” they need.

When it comes to decorating my home, I’ve always found myself approaching things with a minimalist perspective. In the past, I tried bright walls and quirky furniture, but quickly switched out pieces/repainted. I’m always one for a neutral space. I love a blank canvas so that I can play around with wall décor – giving me a chance to change it depending on my mood, evolving tastes, or seasons.

For my little ones’ shared room, I put up paper flowers that I (so proudly!) made myself. They give their room a whimsical touch without being too girly. Of course, to set the tone of the room’s ambiance, it all depends on the color cardstock that you use. I opted for grey and navy to match the overall theme of their room.

Paper Peony Aesthetic

When I created the template for these flowers, I wanted to make them look as close to peonies as possible. Peonies are one of my favourite flowers – their full petals give off a charming, whimsical feel.
