Since we’ve made quite a few different versions of paper ranunculus flowers, we decided we needed ones made out of felt! Crafted by our designer Krista, these beauties brighten up any room with their eye-catching colors. They’d also make a sweet gift for anyone who loves flowers in their home. What would you do with these felt flowers?
We Felt Like Brightening Your Day
If you want to make these felt ranunculus flowers, scroll down for the tools and materials we used. We’ve also shared step-by-step instructions and a photo tutorial so you can see exactly how Krista arranged this ranunculus. You can also see how she used a bright yellow-green PanPastel to make the color transition from green to yellow petals look more natural.

Hi, I just made one of the ranunculus flowers, and the correct size for the felt balls is the extra small, not the small size. If you make the flower with the small size felt balls, the petals do not cover the ball to make the buds and they are also too large for the actual flower. Just and FYI. Shannon
Thanks, Shannon. Did you print the template or cut SVG? I am guessing either way it came out smaller than Krista intended. When printing a PDF, it sometimes defaults to “fit page” which downsizes the template. You can click “actual size” to confirm it is correct. Also, we now carry these balls in our shop, so the links are now updated.
Hi! is the felt ball 3/4 inch or 1/2inch? I bought 3/4 inch, but they look a little big to get the nice overlapping of the petals in the pics, thanks!
Hi Jenny! We used the small size, which is approx 3/4″, or 2cm, for both the full bloom and the bud. You can certainly use the Extra Small if you don’t like the way it’s turning out.
These are beautiful!
We’re so happy you like them, thank you for the kind words! We think they’re beautiful too 🙂
