Cut three or more copies of the layer from card. For a fuller, cupped flower, make each copy a little smaller than the one below it: resize with the proportions locked, for example to 100% (100 × 88 mm), 85% (85 × 75 mm) and 70% (70 × 62 mm).
2. Curl the petals
Curl each petal up over a pencil or the handle of a paintbrush, so the layers cup when they are stacked.
3. Stack and glue
Stack the copies, largest at the bottom, turning each one so its petals sit between the petals below, and glue them at the center. Line up the center openings and fix them with a brad or a dab of glue.
A continuous spiral paper strip. Roll from the outer tip and secure the inner end on a separate base; finished diameter depends on how tightly it is rolled.

Peony rounded layer, 104 × 104 mm. A connected flower layer. Stack and shape separate copies; the finished flower height and diameter depend on your arrangement.
