If youβre looking to build your paper flower skills, this beginner-friendly workshop is a perfect introduction. In addition to our easy-to-follow tutorial, our video workshop will guide you step-by-step through all the thoughtful details that make these Crepe Paper Dandelions look so wonderfully realistic. Once you cut, fringe, and shape each layer, youβll have a beautiful bunch of golden blooms to pop into a bud vase or bundle into a sweet seasonal arrangement.
Often dismissed as a nuisance, the humble dandelion is usually the first to sound the alarm that spring has finally arrived. These fluffy blooms push their way through the cool earth to reach confidently toward the sun. Because of that determination, many cultures associate the dandelion with hope, resilience, and fresh beginnings. We hope that in creating your own Crepe Paper Dandelions, you hold onto that optimism long after the real blossoms fade.
Once youβve finished your Crepe Paper Dandelions, there are endless ways to display them in your space. A single stem feels minimalist, chic, and modern, while a cluster brings an instant boost of Vitamin D. This project also makes an adorably thoughtful, handmade gift during this time of seasonal transition.
So, when youβre ready to shake off winter and create something bright and joyful for the coming spring, this Crepe Paper Dandelion workshop is a great way to get started. And when your dandelions are in full bloom, be sure to share them in our craftersβ community and on social using #MadeWithLiaβwe canβt wait to see your sunny creations!

Leave a CommentIt seems the template needs to be updated since the paper has been changed to double-sided yellow. We would need to cut two of Strips A and B. Or denote both Heavy Nectarine and double sided number of strips.
Hi Molly we have not changed the paper to double sided the template was incorrect! Must have had that color on my mind since we have been using it so much. Sorry about that, I would stick to using heavy nectarine for it.
Iβm amending my last post. The grain was in the correct direction. It just didnβt allow as many leaves so it wasted paper.
Did you attach the leaf layer so that the Cricut software does not spread them apart? We set up the files for the best use of paper, but the groups will still need to be attached to keep them in place. Gotta love Cricut. π (Actually, I do love Cricut, but it has some quirks we have to work around).
I kept the leaf layer together and it looked great but when I went to make, it eliminated half of them. I feel like the Cricut has its own strange language that I can understand!
It does, and it is so frustrating! Did you “attach” the leaf group first? Try that, and it should keep them all on the page. The attach button is at the bottom of the layers column on the right. Let me know if that works.
Iβm having trouble cutting the leaves on my maker 4. I didnβt separate the leaves it looks ok and then when I go to make it eliminates half the leaves and even changes the direction. Arggg! I tried to attach a photo but I guess that isnβt the place. What Iβm I doing wrong.
It sounds like Cricut is moving the pieces on the mat.
sorry…me again. Either my visual perceptual skills are way off or are the leaves in the svg file only “right side sections”? If you flip them to match left and right, the left side is green tea and the right side is cypress. Am I seeing things wrong?
Thank you for catching this! We have fixed the SVG and the leaves are now correct.
Would you mind double checking the pdf template size? It usually shows the dimensions on the template, but it seems to be missing from the pdf. My svg file shows the yellow strips to be 8″long and 1″ wide, but my template is printing them 5 3/4″ long and 3/4″ wide. I double checked my print scale and it shows 100%. Thank you!!
The SVG and Template are showing the correct size for us, the yellow strip should be 8″x1″
What leaf is shown with this dandelion? Thanks!!
Hi Dawn, the leaf is included in the template for the dandelion.
Hi there,
Do you use just one of the four 1 1/2 inch juniper pieces per flower?
Thanks
Yes, that is correct.
I made a little group of 3 flowers and leaves. It makes me smile!
I love that the fringe and zigzag top were done with the Maker. It cut perfectly.
My RA is getting worse and I can barely make flowers even when most of the work is cut on the machine. Having the extras cut on the machine will let me (and probably) others make more projects.
They do make us smile, those sunny little flowers. (Unless you are pulling them from the garden) ;-).
We do offer the SVG file for almost every project on our site. Hope that can help you keep crafting!
Afternoon it does not say much on how to do the leaves? Is it like all the other flower leaves where its two halves wired together, or one single leaf wired together with 18 gage wire also
Hi Jeff! This is an older post, and the leaves are made from craft paper (frosted, cardstock, or colored paper); the method used is to wire the leaves at the base.
Now that I have found Art Glitter glue, I would run the wire up the back of each leaf along the fold. I find that it will keep the leaf from getting bent and broken.
Thanks Lia! Great project — the dandelions are really cute.
Who would have thought? lol
Love making your flowers. Is the svg pattern already stretched or cut on heavy crepe?
I am looking at this template (which is from a few years ago). I do not think the designer set up the SVG correctly, so I might need to update it when I have a minute. The size is pre-stretched, but if you are cutting the zigzag and fringe, it will need to be stretched first. I suggest you cut by hand or use the SVG to cut two of the stretched crepe per flower.
Do you have a crepe leaf pattern that would work with this flower?
You could use this pattern, cut in half and cut at an angle then add the wired center.
Very disappointed that the svg file didn’t include the fringe – it’s the entire point of using a maker instead of cutting by hand.
Hi Lee, that was actually a mistake on our end β the Maker does not always cut fringe well for us so we wanted to offer up two options for that part of the flower. We’ll be adding it shortly! You can always request additions/let us know about mistakes like this to SVG files by commenting on the post, or emailing us at hello@liagriffith.com.
My Fav!!!!!
Love making these and so many of your flowers. But please can you also show how to make the greenery? Your photos always show the beautiful leaves from the template with the flowers, but rarely are they included in the tutorials! Itβs the part I always struggle with.
Thank you.
Hi Tanya,
To make the greens included with this flower cut the leaf from craft paper then shape using your curling tool. To attach the leaves to a wire use floral tape.
Thank you
Love them. Do you know what wire was used?
Thanks! There’s a link in the post to the 18 gauge floral wire we used.
Love these! I thought these were real dandelions!! I would love to see the next version when they are white and ready to spread their seeds!
Ooh that would be fun! So glad you love these π
