Ranunculus is one of the most beloved flowers for many of you and for me, as well. It was one of the flowers I first learn how to make when I started my journey with paper flowers. It looks amazing in any bouquet and it’s a must have when it comes to wedding flowers.

I like to use the soft and thin 60 gr. Italian crepe paper to make these delicate flowers. I love to color the paper making a gradient from pale green to nude and light salmon pink. Then I double it, so I can have the same color on both sides of the petal.  The interesting part is when I have to cut dozens of petals, different sizes, from each color tone.  I like to cut them freehand because the shape is very easy. I store them in piles according to color and size… it’s imperative that I work like this, keeping everything tidy and neat, otherwise I would get lost in all the petals. Then, I cup each petal, one or two at a time. Depending on how many ranunculus I have to make, this process may take a few hours, even a day or two… a lot of patience is required but I always work with joy and excitement, hopping to achieve a lovely result.
