Extra Fine Crepe Paper Ranunculus
One of the many wonderful things about paper flowers is that they give you the ability to display any flower during any season. Ranunculus generally bloom in spring, but why not create a bouquet of these blooms in a gorgeous color palette for the colder months? As you can see, they tend to pair well with a glass of full-bodied red wine 😉 Here I will show you my crepe paper ranunculus using the extra fine crepe for your fall and winter home styling.

Start by gathering your materials. As always, you can find the crepe in the shop. These crepe paper ranunculus are featured in Aubergine, Merlot, and Ruby with Gold centers and Juniper leaves. I have to say that these would also look stunning using our double-sided paper if you want to create a larger variety of blooms. We used 18 gauge floral wire for the stems, and then wrapped them in floral tape to finish them. Download the printable instructions for a full list of materials. Cut out the PDF template and then follow the step-by-step photo tutorial for a visual guide. Crepe paper is a very forgiving material, and crepe paper ranunculus always turn out gorgeous no matter what skill level you are. So these flowers (as well as my anemones) are especially great for beginners!

If you would like to learn more about crepe as a material before you start crafting, head over to get started with Crepe Paper Flowers. The most important thing to remember is to always cut with the grain of the crepe so that the grain is vertical. This will allow you to stretch and curl the petals in an elegantly realistic way. Once you finish with your crepe paper ranunculus arrangement, browse the rest of our projects using the extra fine crepe line to find other flowers that inspire your creativity! Share your project photos using #MadeWithLia on Instagram. We love seeing your creativity bloom! ~ Lia & team

Leave a CommentHi Lia
I live in Cape Town South Africa and would love to be able to use your extra fine crepe paper. It’s either not deliverable to where I live or it’s insanely expensive. I’d be happy to be a stockist of your paper here as I know the flower community is growing and would love to craft with your amazing paper. Regards Johanna
Hi Johanna! I’m sending your information to Anna who will put you in touch with the right people to stock the paper 🙂
Hi Lia,
How can I become a Lia Griffith flower seller? Thanks!
Hi Cheryl! Please send an email to hello@liagriffith.com 🙂
Lia – I have a Cricut Explore 2 and wonder if that machine will cut your crepe paper templates for petals and leaves? I realize the Cricut Maker can cut crepe paper, but not sure about the Air 2.
No, the Explore Air doesn’t cut crepe paper 🙁 The Maker has a rotary blade that cuts crepe like butter.
I found your blog a long time ago, even before Pinterest came along! Always loved your ideas – very inspirational & beautiful. Here, on U.K. TV recently (create&craft) were showcasing your products. So now can buy the many products to get the look – exactly as your pics !! Well done & ThankU
Thank you for your comment, I love hearing from long-time readers! I’m so glad you can find us in the UK now. Thank you for your support! 🙂
Hi Lia,
What size foam balls do you use?
We used 3/4″ foam balls!
So beautiful and elegant! I love these.
Thank you!!
