DIY Dandelion Pom Pom

Dandelions are one of the signs of summer and joy, as they are brightly colored. Passing through a dandelion meadow can bring back nice memories and can brighten everyone’s day. Unfortunately it’s kind of hard to plant a whole meadow in your garden, but you can always search your crafting box for yellow yarn and create your own dandelions. You will need the following materials:

• yellow yarn;
• green yarn;
• U shaped object;
• some glue;
• a pair of scissors;
• needle;
• thread;
• a stick;

Take the U shaped object and wrap the yellow yarn around it. Pull the yarn through the middle and secure the end with glue. Take a piece of yarn and wrap it around the middle section of the roll and cut it in half. These two will be the top of your dandelions. Take the green yarn, cut pieces of equal length and pull a needle with a thread through the yarn, as shown in the pictures. Repeat this step again, but leave some gap between the pieces of thread. Wrap the green yarn through the top of the dandelion and secure with thread. Carefully cut the edges and apply a bit of glue on them. Take the stick and wrap green yarn around it, secure with glue. The last step is to attach the top of the dandelion to the stick; you can use hot glue if you wish. Make several more dandelions out of yarn and this way you will have your own miniature handmade dandelion meadow.
