Dandelion made of corrugated paper. Cute dandelion made from yarn

Many, seeing this beautiful and original flower, will want to know how to make a dandelion from threads with your own hands. For them, we offer a detailed master class in which all stages will be described and shown in detail.

To get started, you should prepare some bright cotton yarn yellow color, as well as green yarn. In general, if you have leftovers in the house wool threads of this color, you can safely use them. The tool you will need is a special knitting fork. IN in this case it is six centimeters wide. Additionally, we prepare a regular and large needle, PVA, a sharp knife and wire.

The threads used in this master class look like this.

We start creating with yellow threads, which should be wound around a fork.

To secure the center of the flower, you need a stronger yellow thread and a larger needle.

We fix everything with PVA glue.

After the glue has dried, the yarn can be removed from the fork and twisted into a roll.

We take the yellow thread again, and use it to tightly rewind the middle of the thread roller. It should turn out as shown in the photo.

Additionally, it is best to coat everything with PVA again and then leave everything to dry thoroughly.

When the tightened roller has dried, use a knife to saw it exactly in the center. After this, we have two identical blanks from which we will make dandelions.


Using sharp scissors, cut the resulting loops, after which the workpieces will take the shape of brushes. By combing the brushes with a comb, we get classic shape dandelion

Green yarn is necessary for making sepals, from which pieces measuring three to four centimeters are cut.

Next is a rather delicate work that requires accuracy and attentiveness. Using a needle and thin thread, thread the chopped yarn onto a thread, leaving a distance of approximately 2/3 of the length of the petals between them.

The resulting ribbon of green thread should look something like this.


To straighten the edge, use regular scissors. At the end, you need to make a line at a distance of five millimeters from the first in the opposite direction.

The finished dandelion should be coated with glue, after which we wrap it with green thread tape.

Now you should press it quite tightly with a thread and wrap it tightly at the top.

From below, it is enough to leave a length of thread so that it covers the cut of the dandelion. This cut should be coated with glue and the ends should be pressed to it.

Be sure to let the product dry after all manipulations. Let's move on to making the stem, for which you will need wire. It should be coated with PVA and wrapped with green yarn.


We also let it dry, after which we move on to the sepals. Using a large needle, make a hole in its center and place it on the stem. If the ends of the sepals fall behind, you can grease them again with glue and press them to the stem.

In principle, the dandelion is ready, and you can make it look as you wish. For a bouquet you can make buds, half-open flowers and fully open dandelions.

To make a leaf, you need green yarn, from which half the threads are removed. Leaves are crocheted in any chosen size.

The knitting pattern for the leaves is attached.

Even before starting work, you should leave a tail long enough to wrap around the stem of the leaf. When the second row is knitted, you need to lay a wire, which is then tied with a single crochet. First we knit one half of the leaf, then the second according to the pattern.

If you wish, you can also make a butterfly.

DIY dandelions

You can make such a beautiful, delicate spring dandelion with your own hands and it’s not at all difficult.

For the dandelion we need some leftover cotton yarn:

Summer from YarnArt yellow;
- Orjinal from Merve in green.

Actually, I wanted to make it from wool threads. But there were no such people in the house. And I realized that Summer (or a similar one) fits perfectly, because... it has a separate viscose thread, and the flower looks more interesting, “with a shimmer.”

In addition, you will need a knitting fork (mine is 6 cm wide), a strong, thin yellow thread (I have cotton Lily YarnArt), a thin needle, a gypsy needle, PVA glue, a knife, wire (for the stem and thinner ones for leaf).

This is what the threads look like:

Take a fork and wind yellow yarn around it:

Using a gypsy needle and strong yellow thread, we sew a line in the middle, then back. This is for ease of use.

Apply glue thickly to the middle line:

Remove the fabric from the fork and roll it with a roller

Then we rewind it tightly with thread middle part(about 1/3 of the total width). It turns out to be such a dumbbell)

Coat the top with glue again and leave to dry.

After drying, take a knife and saw the “dumbbell” in the middle (“Saw the weights, they are golden” (c)))). Thus, we got two blank flowers at once

Using scissors we cut the loops of the “tassels”. Comb it with a comb, shape it with scissors and comb it again.

For sepals, take green yarn and cut it into pieces 3-4 cm long

We take a thin needle with a thread pulled out of the yarn and string the pieces onto the thread at a distance of about 2/3 of the length of the petals.

The result should be a path of such length that it is enough to wrap our flower

We equalize with scissors top edge. We make another line at a distance of half a centimeter from the first in the opposite direction.

Lubricate the flower with glue, take the path and wrap its middle part around the bottom of the flower.

We press it tightly, wrap it tightly around the top with the thread on which we strung it.

We cut the bottom edge so that it is enough to cover the cut of the flower. Apply glue thickly to the cut and press the ends

Leave to dry.

For the stem, take a wire, coat it with glue and wrap it with green yarn




Let it dry.

Using a gypsy needle, we make a hole in the center of the sepal and insert the stem onto the glue. Lubricate the tips of the sepals with glue again and press them if they come loose.

Let’s let our flower dry completely...

The type of flower can vary - from large to small and even to a bud. You can take a fork of a different size, you can wrap the threads wider in the middle, you can simply cut off more petals from the finished flower)). The bud has shorter petals, but longer than the petals of the sepal.

Well, the flower comes with a leaf.

We knit a leaf from the same green yarn, only remove 3 out of 7 threads from it. Hook 1.75.

Leaves can also be tied different sizes, changing the number of stitches and crochets in them.

Here is an approximate diagram of the leaf:

At the beginning of the work, leave a tail of thread long enough to wrap around the stem of the leaf.

When knitting the second row, we lay a wire along the chain and tie it with single crochets. We knit half a leaf according to the pattern, break the thread, and knit the second half from the base of the leaf.

Having tied the leaf, we coat the wire with glue and wrap it with the thread left at the beginning.

That's all! We admire our work!))

P.S. Well, what would a dandelion be without a butterfly:

  • Dandelions
  • Wire
  • Scissors
  • Artificial greenery
  • Plastic container
  • Hair fixation spray

Let's get started:
First you need to collect dandelions; they should already have bloomed, but not yet bloomed. We pick dandelions with stems, the quantity is at your discretion.


Next, we thread a wire into each leg of the dandelion, and it should pierce the flower.
We stick the dandelions into polystyrene foam or something else, but it’s worth considering that there should be a distance between them.


Later certain time The dandelions will begin to bloom, this may take anywhere from 12 hours to several days. As we do this, spray each fully blossomed dandelion with hairspray, but from a distance. This will ensure their continued safety.


When the required number of dandelions is ready, you can begin creating the composition.
I decided to make two of them. To decorate the first one, I used a plastic container, which I covered with wooden clothespins. Pour gypsum diluted with water into the container, insert dandelions, and then artificial greenery.

For the second composition, I took a plastic container, cut and processed the edges, and painted it with spray paint. I filled it with plaster in the same way and placed dandelions and greenery.


You can also complement the composition with beaded butterflies. By the way, In a similar way you can make original branches for floor vase and not only. Dandelions are dried in the same way, only the legs should be very short, then they can be screwed to the branches with wire.

And so cute dandelion Christmas tree florist Evgenia Masyutenko sent us. You can read about the manufacturing process in the comments below the article.

Perhaps you will have some ideas or suggestions, additions - do not hesitate to express your opinion!

I’ll say right away that I came up with the technology myself. Or rather, it’s unlikely that I invented the wheel, but somehow I didn’t come across production in this particular form. Therefore, I will tell you how, from what and with what I made it. Maybe it could be simpler, more convenient, but that’s how it is for me.

Dandelion from foamiran is often used to create children's jewelry (hairpins, elastic bands, headbands), as well as for various flower arrangements. In this foamiran master class, you will clearly see how to make two types of dandelions from foamiran with your own hands: one of them is the most popular - the yellow dandelion, the second is the unusual white dandelion. The flowers will be attached to the stem and then collected into a small arrangement.

Let's start with our MKs.

Yellow dandelion from foamiran, master class with step-by-step photos

To create the entire composition with dandelions you will need:

  • foamiran in yellow and green shades;
  • green and brown oil pastels;
  • acrylic brown paint;
  • lighter;
  • iron;
  • instant glue;
  • tape;
  • scissors;
  • toilet paper or napkins;
  • feathers;
  • foil;
  • wire No. 26,28 and 1 mm;
  • Styrofoam;
  • flower pot.

We will start the MK by making two dandelions, an unblown dandelion and an ordinary yellow dandelion.

To make a dandelion, take 3 strips of yellow foamiran. Two strips 2 cm * 30 cm and one 1 cm * 8 cm. For a dandelion that has not blossomed, take a strip 8 cm and one 30 cm.

Then finely cut the strips into fringes.

We take the wire, make a hook on it and put on a small strip and begin to twist and glue it to form the center of the dandelions. We make 2 middles at once.

Then we process the centers with a lighter.

We iron three large strips of fringe at silk-wool temperature, so that the fringe is slightly bent.

Then we begin to glue a large strip with fringe to the middle. Here is a dandelion that hasn't blossomed.

Glue another strip of fringe to the second center. Like this beautiful dandelion it worked out.

From green foamiran we cut out a sepal into two parts. We prepare the sepals for 3 flowers at once.

We process it with an iron and rub it a little between our fingers. Then we thread the sepals onto the wire and glue them to the flowers.

These are the dandelion flowers we got.

We treat the stem of dandelions with paper in two layers. Then we treat it with light green tape with tape.

White dandelion from foamiran, master class with step-by-step photos

Now let's get started white dandelion from foamiran. We start with the base for the flower.

Take foil 8 cm * 6 cm and make a ball. Then we press the ball on one side and make it flat in the form of a tablet.

We take the wire and make a loop on it and glue it to the foil blank.

We take a piece of white foamiran and begin to cover the foil blank.

This is the center we have for a fading dandelion.

Glue the sepals to it.

Brown acrylic paint Use a toothpick to draw dots all over the middle.

Then we process the stem, just as we did for the yellow dandelions.

We take a thin white wire in a paper winding and cut into pieces of 1.7 cm - 10-12 pieces.

We paint the lower part of the wires with brown acrylic paint.

We take feathers, I have chicken fluff and fine mode.

Dip the tip of the wire into glue and then into the feather.

We make holes on the workpiece with a needle. Dip the brown tip of the wire into glue and insert it into the hole.

Dandelion leaves, MK photo

From green foamiran, according to the pattern, cut out 2-3 dandelion leaves.

Using a stick we draw veins. Then we heat the edges of the leaves on an iron and make waves.

Glue the leaves onto the wire to cover the entire sheet. And tint them a little with green oil pastels, shading them well with a sponge.

This is the bouquet we made for you. Cut off the excess wire from the leaves and secure the tape with tape. But we will make a composition.
