Dried peonies make beautiful table arrangements, bouquets, swags, wall
hangings, wreaths, or hung in bunches from beams or ceilings to decorate
your home.
For an instant and gorgeous table arrangement, choose a vase, container
or basket with a fairly narrow opening . Place the peonies in, one by one,
doubling a top layer over the bottom ones. The idea is to create a symmetrical
and full display of peonies in proportion to the size of the vase.

For a beautiful bouquet or bunch of peonies to lay on a surface or hang
from the ceiling, simply group a few peonies together and tie the stems together
with a pretty ribbon and bow. They can then be displayed either laying sideways
on dressers, bureaus, tables, bookcases, or hung from the side of a mirror,
window frame, above a door or doorway, entryway or ceiling.
For larger openings in vases, china bowls, pitchers, baskets or containers,
insert a piece of oasis foam (available at any florist,or floral/craft supply
dept. of most stores), cut to fit the opening. Cut the stems of the peonies
at the desired height at a sharp angle and insert them into the foam at whatever
angle you prefer to view them.
For very close placement of peonies in wreaths, wall hangings, swags,
etc., cut the stems to the desired height, and use a glue gun to permanently
attach the peonies.
Dried peonies are gorgeous flowers, and can be used in any way that
either fresh or dried flowers can be displayed.
