Dandelions and Horsetails

[Craft Idea] Dandelion Crafting (Spring: March–April) (Senior Recreation) (Early Childhood/Educational) (Wall Decorations) (Flower Crafts) (Creative) (3D) (Origami)

These wall decorations are recommended for care facilities and let you feel the arrival of spring indoors.

Crumple yellow origami paper to create a soft texture, then shape it into a circle.

By attaching small cut pieces of origami, you can express the fluffy, three-dimensional look of dandelion flowers.

For the leaves, cut green origami into rectangles, draw vein patterns, and make slits so they connect.

For the stems, roll thin, elongated strips of origami to give them a solid three-dimensional feel—this is key.

To depict grass, cut green origami into jagged shapes and place them randomly.

For horsetails, use brown origami, forming rounded shapes; arranging them at slightly different heights will create a more natural scene.
