The felt poppies seemed to work better than the crepe paper ones - the thinkness of the felt made the difference - a wonderful activity - Thankyou - Shirley NSW
I got the idea for this by watching the festive wall art and the paper poppies tutorials that you have on Golden Carers... thank you, we loved doing this.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing your photo and ideas.

When I did the poppies for Remembrance Day I used them in a wreath (I used a Christmas one) I also made some more poppies to put in around LED lights for effect at my service.

Lucky for us the Christmas decorations are out now..hence how I got a wreath to reuse every year....will also find a photo and add later.
What a great idea... residents will be putting them on a wreath, we are working on for Remembrance Day. I will post a photo when done. thanks again.

I have made these and they looked fantastic on my table on a wreath for our Remembrance Day service last year...the residents also made crepe paper poppies to place on the table of Remembrance...thanks for the hints...
i actually sat with the Residents where i work and we made Poppies for anzac day 1-2 wks prior and they turned out fantastic on the actual day i added Rosemary to it with floral wire and put one in each of there rooms as well as on the dining table with an Australian flag, it was a great activity, thank you.... will do alot more of this even for mothers day etc thanks Rose
Thank you so much for allowing us to share all the wonderful ideas that are on Golden Carers. It is so helpful, inspiring and they give our residents so much fun and the feeling of achievement once we have completed them. It is great that we can spread the days out and do a lot over time rather than in one session. THANK YOU ALL
