4. Giant “Fluff” Peonies

Peonies are all about volume. By using “Extra-Fluffy” or “Jumbo” chenille stems, you can create a flower that looks like a soft, velvet pom-pom.

  • How to Make: Accordion-fold four jumbo pipe cleaners and tie them in the center with a thin wire. Fan out the loops and “scrunch” the fuzzy ends toward the center to create a ruffled petal look.
  • Items to Make: Pink or white jumbo chenille stems, thin floral wire, and scissors.
