Our Felt Butterfly Ranunculus is beginner-friendly, but with just enough of a challenge to make you feel like a floral pro. The petals are first shaped and then layered to create that light, airy quality that butterfly ranunculus are known for. And finally, a spritz of fabric stiffener helps the flowers maintain their fluttery shape, keeping them fresh and lively long after they’re made. The process can be wonderfully meditative and fun, with plenty of room for your own creative flair.

Even if you’re new to felt flower making, these Felt Butterfly Ranunculus come together easily with just a few simple techniques. To recreate the flower’s signature look, we used scalloped pinking shears to cut the stamen centers, giving them a soft, ruffled texture. And lastly, to finish them off, we added detail with a Posca paint pen, which gives each petal subtle depth and definition.

Once finished, these Felt Butterfly Ranunculus work beautifully as single stems, perfect for a small vase or tied with ribbon as a thoughtful handmade gift. Want to create a little drama? You can also pair them with our Dark Burgundy Ranunculus for a violet-inspired autumnal arrangement.
