I originally posted the tutorial on my wedding planning blog, but I thought I would post the tutorial here because these can easily be made to decorate for spring… or year-round, which is what I plan to do after the wedding. 🙂
- 6 inch foam ball
- white pot
- Silk pink peonies
- Floral foam
- Spanish Moss
- Bundle of 5 twisted willow branches
- Hot glue gun
- Tape measure
- Hedge clippers
- Knife

I didn’t find if you said how high the final project was but I’m guessing shy of 2′ (?). I’m too cheap to buy artificial, so I’m going to try this using the plastic bag technique. Thanks for the tutorial!

Thanks for the tutorial I will soooo do this!!!
bellabambino08 says
I’m just curious.. about how many peonies did you attach to each ball?
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
Honestly, I have no idea. I think it depends on the size of peonies you’re working with.
Kristie says
Could you share where you bought those branches? I am having a hard time finding that type. Thanks!
Chelsea @ two twenty one says
It’s been 4 years, but I think I got them at Michael’s.
Ariane says
Where did you get the silk peonies?
