Dandelion flowers and fluffNEW!
This is a realistic dandelion origami that lets you make both the flower and the seed head.
By varying the colors and shapes, you can create a spring-like scene.
Take 5 cm or 7.5 cm origami paper, fold it in half twice and unfold, then fold the edges back toward the center.
Make four identical parts, trim them with scissors to form petals, and assemble them to complete a three-dimensional flower.
For the seed head, take white or pink origami paper, make fine cuts, and spread it out.
Display the flower and seed head side by side for a piece that brims with seasonal charm.
Adding a stem and leaves will make it look even more lifelike.
Perfectly round and cute! Dandelion paper cutoutNEW!
It’s a lovely idea to make spring-like dandelion paper cutouts and decorate your walls or windows to create a sense of the season.
Fold an origami sheet in half into a square twice, then fold it into a triangle.
Open the tip of the triangle outward and fold it into a triangle again, then draw the cutting lines with a pencil.
Cut along the lines with scissors, gently unfold, and shape the petals so they stand up slightly to finish.
It’s recommended to make deeper cuts without cutting too far through.
You can also add white fluff using cotton to create spring-like dandelions.
If you make it larger, it can go on the wall too! Dandelion origamiNEW!
Make it larger and you’ll have a showy dandelion that works as a wall decoration.
Cut origami paper to create petals and glue them in place while shaping them.
Increasing the number of petals adds more volume.
Draw patterns on a rectangular piece of origami paper, cut it out, and use it to represent grass.
By layering and connecting additional petals, you’ll achieve a three-dimensional finish.
Varying the colors and sizes will instantly brighten up a space—an idea enjoyable for both kids and adults.
It can also be used as a seasonal display.
A simple dandelion flowerNEW!
Here’s an easy dandelion idea that uses a basic folding method to create a flower shape and is simple to customize.
Fold the paper to align the top, bottom, left, and right edges to make creases, then align the opposite corners to add diagonal creases.
After cutting to the center, make pleat folds along the crease lines and align the inner corners to neaten the shape.
Slightly curl the petals for a softer look.
Glue two identical pieces face-to-face to complete the flower.
Connect a diamond-folded leaf and a made stem to create a cute dandelion.
Making them in different colors is recommended—it looks more festive when displayed together.
Three-dimensional origami dandelionNEW!
This is a striking dandelion craft with a delightful three-dimensional feel.
Cut a rectangle from origami paper, make fine slits, then roll it up while gluing to form the flower.
The key is to space the slits evenly for a beautiful finish.
Create the stem with a different sheet of origami, and add jagged-cut grass for a natural look.
Connecting rolled pieces to form a frame will make it stand out as a decoration, too.
The steps are easy to follow, making it great for both kids and adults.
Display it on a desk or in an entryway to bring a touch of spring.
Cute when lined up! Dandelion origamiNEW!
Let’s make an origami dandelion, like the cute ones that peek out along roadsides in spring.
Fold the origami paper in half, then fold both sides toward the center crease.
Fold it again along the center line, then open it slightly, puff it up, and gently squash it into a triangle, aligning the tips so they don’t shift.
For the flower, carefully form the petals with your fingertips, making sure the overall shape and size are even.
Be careful when making slits with scissors.
Once you make the stem and leaves with green origami paper, it’s complete.
It’s also great for decorating walls.
Make it with paper cutting! Dandelion fluffNEW!
Here’s a gentle, paper-cutting idea that captures the soft, airy spread of dandelion fluff.
Prepare origami paper, scissors, and a pencil.
Fold the origami paper in half twice, then fold it again into a triangle.
Open and align the layers so they fan outward, sketch the dandelion seed design, and cut carefully.
The key to a neat finish is to take your time with the fine details.
When you gently unfold it, a radiating pattern appears, revealing delicate fluff.
It’s a project that’s fun to open and see, recommended for both kids and adults.
Display it by a window to let the light shine through and make it even more beautiful.
