hi my name is Solange kinderman and today I'm going to show you how to make a poppy flower to be used on Remembrance Day first the material some wool crepe paper a pen scissors safety pins and some it slivers of colorful paper the first thing you're going to do go to the website and get the template the template should be cut into either recycled paper or cardboard for easy handling then you put that template on top of a double layer of crepe paper and you will get that now those two layers you are going to put one on top of the other in a cross like fashion like that and you are going to pitch it in the middle to form a stem then what now this theme should be at least 1 centimeter long because you need the stem to wrap the wool around it the wool should be wrapped around firmly quite a few times and then you tie it with a knot and trim the excess there's your flower and if you want to make it a little bit more genuine you are going to put a drop of glue somewhere used a sliver of paper colorful paper on one end and place it here and let it dry now it is finished and all you need is to secure the safety pin on the wool like that and there is your poppy now there is another way to do a poppy which is made out of felt it is more expensive flower but it's got the advantage you can keep it from year to year it is very similar to the crepe paper but you will have to find a different template there is a different template for the felt so you will prove place the template on a double layer of felt and you will get that and in the same session one on top of the other in a cross light fashion a pinch in the middle like that and you tie it around now then when you tie you don't need to go around and around because you actually are not going to faster the safety pin on the wool you are going to do it on the felt like that and again if you want you can put a : stem in the middle and let it dry there you want thank you very much and see you next time
