It’s no secret that I adore dandelions!   It’s hard for me to resist walking by one and not pick it up and make a wish.  What about you? For me, they represent childhood, dreams and and I can only imagine all the wishes they have helped grant!  Here are some simple craft ideas using dandelions that you can try out.  Many of these crafts could be given as a gift such as the jar of wishes or the dandelion pillow.  Enjoy!
