A box of dandelion flowers and fluffNEW!
This is a box-shaped dandelion you can decorate and enjoy, adorned with flowers and fluff.
Its stylish design makes it a striking interior accent.
Use four sheets of origami: some for the flowers and some for the box.
For the box origami, turn it face down and crease the fold lines neatly.
Fold the other side the same way, glue it, and form the box shape.
Make the dandelions with a slitted sheet and a thin strip of paper, then attach them to all four sides of the box and connect them to finish.
Arranging the petals—slit and spread—creates a vibrant look.
It’s a display-worthy craft that children and adults can enjoy together.
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.
Authentic dandelions that even children can makeNEW!
This is a full-fledged dandelion origami that lets you carefully craft the flower, leaves, and even the stem.
It may look like there are many steps, but if you proceed carefully one by one, you’ll get a beautiful result.
Start by folding a sheet cut in half; fold about one-fifth while aligning the edges with the creases to shape it, then create step folds and glue them together to complete the flower.
For the leaves, use a separate sheet: fold diagonally along the creases and open the pockets to squash-fold, adding a three-dimensional effect.
For the stem, fold a quarter-size piece and assemble it; then insert and glue the flower and leaves to finish.

Fun to roll! Dandelion origamiNEW!
This is a voluminous dandelion origami made by rolling strips.
The petals spread out radially, giving a glamorous look.
Fold the origami paper in half and cut it, then fold each piece in half again.
Apply glue to the edge, join to form a ring, and make fine 5 mm cuts to create the petals.
Roll another piece of paper to make the stem, and fold and snip it to finish the leaves.
Wrap the petals around the stem and fluff them out for added dimension—it also works well as interior decor.
Combining yellow and orange will make it even more vibrant.
Three-dimensional dandelion
It looks just like the real thing! Here’s an idea for making a 3D dandelion.
You’ll need yellow origami paper, yellow-green origami paper, green origami paper, pink origami paper, scissors, and craft glue.
First, connect strips of yellow origami paper that you’ve cut into long, narrow pieces.
Make 1 mm-wide fringe cuts, then roll it up while applying craft glue; once it’s rolled, the dandelion flower is complete.
After making the stem and leaves with green origami paper, create a frame with the pink origami paper.
If you add some curves and motion to the stem and leaves, it will look even more like a real dandelion.
Dandelions made from construction paper
We introduced ideas for making dandelion-themed crafts.
It would be great to try three-dimensional projects suited to the children’s ages.
Choose your favorite color schemes and techniques from various ideas and try arranging them.
We look forward to seeing artworks that showcase the children’s individuality.
Units that can be applied to fit the size of the wall
Here’s an idea for units you can arrange to fit the size of your wall.
You’ll need light green construction paper, brown construction paper, dandelion flowers made from tissue paper, buds, leaves made from construction paper, craft glue, and scissors.
First, cut the brown construction paper to create the ground.
Next, arrange and glue the leaves, flowers, and buds.
Finally, attach the stems cut from the light green construction paper, and you’re done.
Adjust the arrangement by adding leaves and buds as needed to keep the balance.
