Crafts from paper - a great way to do things with children. From white or colored paper, you can make various gizmos. For example, if you decide to make an original product, you can make a bouquet of various paper flowers or make a beautiful composition in a homemade basket or vase.
As for performance techniques, there are enough of them to diversify your creativity. Today we will tell you how to make a dandelion out of paper using several techniques.
DIY paper dandelion in volume quilling technique
In order to make a beautiful spring flower, prepare the following material:
- yellow paper strips measuring 30 cm by 2 cm;
- green colored paper;
- glue stick;
- scissors.
We take a strip of yellow and make numerous cuts on it, thus creating a semblance of a fringe from paper.
Then we twist it into a tight tourniquet, outside we wrap the workpiece with green paper, which can also be cut in the form of leaves.
A paper dandelion is almost ready, it remains only to fluff up its center and attach it to a postcard or any other surface.
If the dandelion in the composition should stand on a leg, in addition to the craft, you need to take an empty rod from a ballpoint pen or a wooden skewer, glue it with a strip of green paper and string the top of the flower onto the formed stem.
There are a lot of such dandelions in order to make a beautiful spring composition for presenting or decorating something.

You can also make a more sophisticated paper dandelion. But for this, be prepared that you need to do more painstaking work, since you will need to make each parachute individually. It will take a lot of time and painstaking work. But you will surely like the result.
For the manufacture of crafts, prepare the following material:
- white and green corrugated paper;
- wooden stick or cardboard;
- glue stick;
- tweezers;
- scissors.
Getting to work.
First you need to cut off a strip of white corrugated paper 1.5 cm wide and make numerous cuts on it.
Then divide this strip into several conditionally equal parts approximately 1 cm wide.
Now each of these paper pieces will need to be twisted in such a way as to make a parachute. For one dandelion you need at least 40 pieces of parachutes.
After that, “torn” leaflets should be cut out of colored green paper. To give the craft a more natural look, you can cut the stems from cream-colored paper and stick them to the leaves.
The middle of the flower is a piece of fleece dipped in glue, from which a ball is subsequently formed.
A stalk is a wooden skewer or cardboard pasted over with flesh-colored paper.
Flower assembly
We begin to glue a dandelion out of paper. Using a glue gun, glue the core of the flower with the leg. Then immediately take the tweezers and proceed to the jewelry work, attaching each parachute to the center of the future flower.
At the very end of the work, leaves are attached to the flower.
That's all, the dandelion from paper is ready!
