I’ve wanted to make these for two years,
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n…ever since Lucy, Owen, and I stumbled on a grassy field full of dandelions.\u00a0 The kids were dying!\u00a0 I was dying.\u00a0 It was so fun!\u00a0 And so cute.\u00a0 Isn’t it odd that a weed flower can be so adorable and entertaining?
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWho can say no to this?
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOr this?
\nDandelions that never wilt or die.\u00a0 Of course you can’t blow them away but you can still make a wish….and decorate your house.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOkay.\u00a0 This is easy.
\nIt’s the same pom pom tutorial<\/a> I shared a couple years ago but we’re adding a stick, and using a speckled yarn.\u00a0 You can also use pure white yarn but I really like how the flecks of dark mixed with cream give the dandelions an earthy texture.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nNo special pom pom tools needed.\u00a0 Just use your hands and some yarn!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n1. Start wrapping yarn around 3 fingers.\u00a0<\/b> For smaller poms use 2 fingers.\u00a0 For larger poms use a book or something wide and be prepared for a ton of wrapping.
\n2. Wrap till the ball is pretty full<\/b>
\n3. Carefully slide the ball off your fingers<\/b> and lay it over a separate piece of yarn
\n4. Tie the yarn string tightly around the center<\/b> of the yarn ball<\/b>
\n5. Use scissors to cut all the loops<\/b> on both sides<\/b>
\n6. Give the pom a hair cut.\u00a0<\/b> Keep trimming till all the sides are fairly even (doesn’t need to be exact)
\n7. Insert a wooden dowel<\/b> (found at most craft stores), or a wooden skewer or pencil, or candy stick, whatever works.
\n8. Squeeze a bit of hot glue on the end of the stick<\/b>
\n9. Carefully push the stick into the center of the pom pom<\/b><\/p>\n

And there you go.\u00a0 Dandelion Pom Pom.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nStick some in a vase or give them away in a bundle, and everyone feels like a kid again.
