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\u2019s a must have when it comes to wedding flowers.<\/p><p>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. \u00a0The interesting part is when I have to cut dozens of petals, different sizes, from each color tone. \u00a0I like to cut them freehand because the shape is very easy. I store them in piles according to color and size\u2026 it\u2019s 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\u2026 a lot of patience is required but I always work with joy and excitement, hopping to achieve a lovely result.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c787369 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5c787369\"
