Crafting tip
Don’t be afraid to experiment with colors! You can use three or four different shades per color to create a more realistic looking flower.
Creative ideas and diversity
- measure up. You can definitely make these paper ranunculus in different sizes. Just make sure the floral wire you use is strong enough to hold the weight of the flower.
- Colors. Use four different shades of color for just one flower and add some brown lines or paint the edges to make them look more realistic. If you have trouble finding different shades of the same color, try painting white paper instead.
- Paper flower bouquet. If you’re planning to use this as a centerpiece or DIY bridal bouquet, it’s best to style it with paper leaves to add texture and variety. I made paper eucalyptus and some long leaves to match my paper ranunculus. You can also make other paper flowers like our roses or tulips and combine them to make a perfect DIY gift bouquet.
