We make a dandelion with our own hands from improvised materials.

How beautiful these spring flowers are!– dandelions! People of all ages enjoy their splendor in spring and summer, but unfortunately, the life of dandelions is short-lived – already at the beginning of autumn it is very difficult to find these noticeable yellow heads. Fortunately, a simple application allows dandelions to stay with us for a whole year. In this article, we will tell you how to make a dandelion from very simple improvised means.How to make a dandelion with your own hands. Photo №1So, first of all, let's stock up on all the necessary materials. For work we will need:

  • three-layer paper napkins (of the desired yellow color, you can, of course, take white napkins, but then the dandelion will turn out to be somehow implausible)
  • green colored paper,
  • scissors,
  • stapler,
  • Glue and cocktail tubes (optional).

The process of creating a dandelion consists of the following steps:

  • Divide the napkin into layers, and then combine the two resulting layers four times, then add the resulting squares four times more.
  • Place the workpieces on top of each other and connect with a stapler (if you want your dandelion to stand for a long time, join the workpieces crosswise).

    • 3.Take a compass and draw a circle on the blank (try to draw as thin as possible so that the line is not particularly noticeable) and cut off the unnecessary parts of the napkin so that you are left with a round blank. 4. Lift the formed layers of the blank and squeeze them at the center - this is how the bud of the future flower is formed (if you want to speed up the process, take not one, but three or even four layers at once).5.Take strips of green colored paper measuring 4*12 cm, fold them in half and cut off the corners. From the resulting blank, cut off leaves in the shape of teeth, then unfold the blank and bend the resulting teeth. Make as many sheets as you think necessary, but do not get too carried away - otherwise the leaves may obscure the bud, or, even worse, the stem will not withstand the weight of the leaves and break. 6.Take a strip of green paper and roll it into a tube (if desired, you can use a cocktail straw for this purpose – it’s even better: the straw will be stronger than paper anyway). Glue the leaves and the dandelion itself onto the stem with glue.7. Our dandelion is ready! If you want to make the dandelion even more beautiful and resistant to various influences, decorate it from below with corrugated paper.
