To start the new year of our paper flower series we will begin with the delicate ranunculus. When I had my flower shop many years ago, this was a wedding bouquet favorite. The ranunculus comes in an array of colors but my favorite was this pale peachy pink with the slight green centers. For these paper flowers I used a regular copy paper to mirror the delicate petals of the original. Just download and print the PDF template of my pink ranunculus, gather your scissors and hot glue gun and follow the tutorial below. Enjoy! ~ Lia

This looks beautiful. I would definitely try this sometime. :)
Yay! Tell me how they come out.
These are amazing! You are so talented!
Aww, thanks Maureen. ;-)
What a fabulous tutorial on making one of the prettiest flowers in the garden. Thank you so much for this, I am pinning it straight away to the clever paper craft group.
Thanks Fran!
Thank you! I love your flowers and freebies.
Thanks Anne! I am so happy to share this one.
Love your flower tutorials. My daughter got married in Dec and I used your paper roses for some of her decorations. Everybody loved them. Thank you!
Thanks Linda. Share photos of your paper rose decor! You can post them on our Facebook.
Beautiful – as always! Can’t wait to try making some.
Thanks, Kate
Yay! Tell me how it goes.
amo questi ranuncoli: i miei fiori preferiti
Grazie tanto
sei magnifica
They are my favorites too. Happy you like them. :-)
These are beautiful! I’m having a Valentine’s Day party and the theme is pastel colors, these will fit in perfectly! I think I’m going to try to make one tonight and see how it goes, I love them!
Ooohhh. I want to see photos of your party!!
I’ve been looking for an easy paper flower like this for a long time. I’m making all the bouquets which will be all paper flowers for my daughter’s wedding this August. I do have a question though–when I print on the copy paper, one side will be white–how do I color it to match? Thank you.
Hi Lori. I originally made my first prototype with just the one side printed then the second with a color printed on the back side. I liked the first one better because the white on the inside of the petals gave it a luminous quality. But, it a color on the other side works best for you, just print a full bleed pink on the backs of your prints.
Thank you! I know what I did wrong then—I was making the flowers with the white on the outside! Will try again. Thanks so much for posting these beautiful flowers. I also look forward to seeing a wedding bouquet and how to attach these to stems.
Lindo!!! obrigada por disponibilizar o passo a passo. Bjos!!!
Thanks Maritania!
Beauitful flowers, just what I need when in middle of dark winter in Sweden. Promise of spring, thankyou.
Hello to you in Sweden!
they are soooooooooooo nice
I think they are my favorites so far.
They look great I love ranunculus. The colours you used makes them look almost like succulents. Two flowers for one lol xxx thankyou for the pattern
That was my thought exactly! I think it would look less like a succulent if they were a bright color. That will be another post. :-)
Absolutely beautiful….I love all your paper flowers! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Thanks Vicki! I will keep them coming. ;-)
I loved these the minute i saw the tutorial and printed them out. They turned out fabulously. Thank you!
So happy to hear! You are the first to tell me you tried them and I love that you had success!
They are so beautiful! Thank you!
Thanks Bernadette!
I love these flowers, lovely as usual. I was just wondering if I could use them for something else other than centerpieces or gift toppers? Say, a bouquet?
Absolutely. I am thinking to do a wedding bouquet post showing how to make stems. They can be used for anything really.
такая нежность! Thank you!
Yes! They do have a tenderness to them. Thanks for sharing that thought.
Hola Lia .
Primer . Decirte que haces unos hermosos y fantasticos trabajos … adoro tu pagina Web.
Segundo: preguntarte que clases de materiales utilizas ( quiero decir las hojas para la impresion por favor .
Atentamente Lyju.
Gracias por su nota dulce. Utilizo copia simple o papel de impresión que luego imprimir el color que has preparado en pdf. Puede utilizar cualquier tipo de papel de peso ligero de cualquier color y utilizar el imprimir como una plantilla.
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial and template! I can’t wait to make some ranunculus flowers.
You are welcome. I love making these flowers so it is a win-win!
Hi just found your blog it is lovely
Thanks Christine! Welcome.
prawdziwe piękności!!!!jestem zachwycona
Thanks Malgosia!
Do you think this could be done with crepe paper? If i made a stencil and cut it out of crepe paper? Thanks!
You can try. I do not use crepe paper because you can not print the paper, but there are many lovely crepe paper flowers out there and I think in the end it is easier to form. . . but I like the challenge of printer paper. :-)
One of my favorite of all flowers! I’m excited to see a paper version here – thanks so much! I’ll enjoy making these :-)
Let me know if you post photos of your version. I would love to see them.
I made one to put on top of a gift box for a friend of mine and came out quite nice…. Not as pretty as the one on the tutorial….
I will bet she loved it!
I love Ranunculus, and your paper version is just beautiful! Thanks for the DIY!
Wow! Thanks! You are the queen of paper so you comment made my day. :-)
That looks fantastic! You did a really great job. Those paper flowers looks just real – love it!
Thanks Beckie! I am excited to make and share them in other colors for spring. Yellow… ummmmm.
I absolutely love your website. I always come away feeling inspired.
I have made many of your flowers for gift toppers. They have always turned out great. I can’t believe what can be made by using paper! I’ve been asked many times where I got the beautiful flowers and was able to proudly say I made them… with some help from Ellinee!
Thank you so much for not only putting these online, but making them free.
Keep up the amazing work! I can’t wait to see what you make next!
This is the nicest note. I love how you are sharing your creations with your friends! This inspires me to create and share even more. :-)
oooowww this is beautiful and lovely. I have seen all those flower tutes of you. It’s still amazing.
Perhaps one day i will find the time to try one out for upon a wrapping gift or … for just making a poisy.
thank you for all your effords and all the greate tutes you’ve made .
And of course the sharing;XD
Thanks for the sweet note. If nothing else it is getting your creative mind to perk up with interest. ;-)
Made this just now as the first flower in my wedding bouquet! I did a little jimmying to get it on a wire stem. The tutorial was great and easy to follow… only took me about 35-40 min from start to finish, including figuring out how to get it on the stem ;)
