Life's Just Dandy!

Children love them for making wishes.  Others cultivate them for the nutritional greens. Lawn manicurists curse them as weeds. But ya gotta admit the Dandelion has its charm!

Such an unassuming little flower {Ok...I hear some of you shouting: "Weed!"} metamorphosis into...

A perfect little fluffy ball of fantastical wonder. Mesmerizing!

All those little parachutes make an amazingly effective seed delivery system. They're almost like nature's version of blowing bubbles!

In making pom poms from plastic grocery bags, I couldn't resist this humorous twist on their use! 

You can get one version of the Plastic Bag Pom Pom Tutorial *here.*

Once you've made the pom poms, just stick them on a skewer. And that's how you make whimsical plastic pom pom Dandelions!

Of course, there is so much more you can make from these pom poms! Like:

Party Hat Toppers

and Package "Bows"

Everything's coming up just Dandy!
