Have you tried making “chrysanthemum” flowers with Tsumami-zaiku? Today I would like to share how to make “peony” flowers. I’m going to use orange and yellow colors again like last time. But you should use whatever your favorites are. Pick 2 or 3 colors that you think will make your hanabi flowers beautiful!

Peony
You will need:
- eight 0.75 inch (1.9 cm) orange square cloths
- eight 1 inch (2.5 cm) white square cloths
- eight 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) yellow square cloths
- one 1 inch round thick paper disc
- glue
- tweezers
- wet towels to clean your finger
How to make:
1. Make 8 petals of each size of cloth with Maru-tsumami.
2. Put glue on the paper disc and glue on the 0.75 inch square cloth petals evenly.
3. Put the 1 inch petals between the 0.75 inch petals.
4. Put some glue on the 1.5 inch petals’ peak side and slide them between the 1 inch petals.
5. Reshape the flower before the glue dries completely.
6. Put a little glue on the side of 1.5 inch petals and glue them next to each other.
7. Let glue dry
8. Put some decorations with glue on the center.
9. Done!
