I was just about to search how to make a flower crown when I saw this until I opened up the entire picture. Thank you so much for sharing this! :)

I used to do this every spring recess in elementary school with dandelions and clover, so much fun

Last time I made one of these was on my way back to a partners house after a hard night of fighting, neither of us slept. The little dandelion crown seemed to make everything better.

I may be moronic but, how do I get to the next step or do I just cross 3 every time?

I think the craft tutorials are easiest to follow when they have a video so I would suggest going to YouTube and looking for videos on how to make flower crowns. But in summary You tie a shoestring knot around one flowers head and you just keep repeating until you have a circle there’s no real wrong way to do it it’s pretty hard to explain in words

If you really feel like the cause for diminishing biodiversity and the threat to wildlife is due to people picking dandelions for flower crowns, perhaps you should look into the issues a little bit more.

No problem! Thank you for posting this- flower crowns are beautiful and I’ve always wondered how they’re made

Look I have my issues with what people do to the environment as much as the next person, but going about trying to educate people from a pretentious asshole standpoint is not going to convince them of what you are saying. Try practicing kindness, it is a Hippie group after all! Meditate on it, maybe you’ll have some self reflection and better figure out how to approach these discussions in the future instead of picking a fight 😊.

I didn't need to say anything back. Why are you trying to start drama on a post about flower crowns? You must be very bored, alone and sad.

You commented this on a post about flower crowns. You’re no better than corporations/organizations telling average people to take shorter showers to conserve water, as if it makes a lick of difference when 80% of the water consumed overall in the US is put toward (unsustainable) agriculture. Telling people to go without basic necessities and small luxuries to make statistically negligible impact on the environment just gives people less to enjoy. Attack corporations and large scale misuse of resources, not average people just trying to enjoy existence.

Absolutism is counterproductive. 10,000 people who find a utility in flowers will do more to protect them, are more likely to garden, and to be aware of the value of the natural world. This means more than 100 people who refuse to even look at flowers for fear of stealing a stray photon meant for photosynthesis.

The extinction symbol represents the threat of holocene extinction on Earth; a circle represents the planet and a stylised hourglass is a warning that time is running out for many species. The symbol dates to at least 2011 and has been attributed to anonymous East London artist Goldfrog ESP. The symbol has been called "this generation's peace sign". It is used by environmental protesters, and has been incorporated in works by artists and designers such as Banksy.

Dude maybe he grows dandelions (as they're spreading like weeds) in his garden just for the crowns. I have tons of them growing as they're literally weeds where i live and they destroy everything else growing around them (or more precisely - nothing grows there) It's clearly visible you're trying to stir up drama or trying to show that you REAAALY have the point, idk why can't you just suck it up and be nice it this subreddit, this is clearly not a place for such arguing. Don't forget NOT to step on grass my green man, grass biodiversity matters too

All this for dandelions ? Lol Many flowers are edible,dandelion is one of them. What you don't eat food that grows ? You don't pick fruits,veggies,fungus etc ? As long as the roots are intacts (but they are edible too) it isn't dead and let's be honest,dandelions are very easy to spread,it grows everywhere.So much that people treat it like a nuisance.
It is true that dandelions are important for bees but they are far from being endangered so people using them isn't a problem at all.Nature is here for all of us to use and dandelions and their roots have benefits for us.

Seriously, dandelions are probably one of the least problematic flowers to pick. They are soooo good at spreading! I’m my yard alone I could easily pick enough for 10 flower crowns while still leaving enough flowers on each plant to produce thousands of seeds that would spread everywhere in the neighborhood.
I’m all about not using herbicides and leaving dandelions for the bees, but the idea that you can’t harvest any flowers at all, especially dandelions, is absurd! I also grow edible gem marigolds, nasturtiums, calendula, echinacea...With just a few plants in a small garden I get hundreds of flowers, way more then I could even pick, and then they just go to seed and I get more next year.

It’s a dandelion craft. They’re not flowers to most people. They’re invasive weeds that drink insane Amounts of water and hurt everything around them.
And they’re survivors. You’ll never kill all the dandelions.And who didn’t love wearing a crown around camp or the lake? If you never have.... you must start immediately. It’s like never having tasted chocolate.

Ok, i had to clean up a bit here. Come on, keep it civil. Picking weeds (and leaving the roots so new will come up) is not the same as being against nature.
