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.
