The Cricut Maker rotary blade cuts crepe paper beautifully. So I cut petals to make a crepe paper ranunculus and turned it into a corsage for Mother’s Day. Read to the end for an awesome Cricut giveaway too!  (some links affiliate)

Here are the supplies you’ll need to make the Crepe Paper Ranunculus:
Crepe paper sheets in dark green, light green, light yellow, light pink and medium pink
Glue gun
Cricut Maker with rotary blade
Blue, light grip mat
Small scraper
Flat back pin
Small piece of felt

Crepe paper sheets pastel colors

Open the ranunculus Design Space project.

Cut each group of petals and the leaf in the correct colors.

Peel away the extra crepe paper, then carefully remove petals from the mat.

Use the small scraper to gently give each petal a bit of curl.

Curling crepe paper petals

Cut a scrap of light green crepe paper, about 1/2 inch x 2 inches and roll up into a ball. 

Hot glue crepe paper flower

Use hot glue to put the ball inside the smallest green flower, and push the petals around it.

Then glue down into the smallest yellow flower, and repeat with the larger flowers, then light pink. Keep pressing petals in towards the center.

For the last two dark pink flowers, glue them so that the direction of the petal curl is down, instead of in towards the center of the flower.
