lollipop dandelions

For my lollipop dandelions I used 12mm dowel and 10cm polystyrene balls, I also made a base for them to stand in of MDF, then painted. 

With one of the dandelions I pierced the polystyrene several times to make a very full one, then with the other one I only stuck a few lollipops in then scattered some on the floor so it looked like it had been blown.
