On Thursday, the 23rd of April I made ANZAC poppies to remember ANZAC day.
To make these plastic poppies you will need:
- The bottom part of a plastic bottle
- A tealight
- A chopstick or something to use as a poppy stalk
- Some sort of glue (I used a hot glue gun)
- An adult’s supervision
First cut the bottom part of a bottle off so you have a cup sort of thing. Now colour the bottle in appropriate colours (red with a black centre). Cut the rounder, more pushed in bits, to a petal shape. Next light the candle. Hold the bottle slightly above the candle until it pops the petal in slightly. Now you should have a poppy.
Now your poppy is done you need to attach a stick as a stalk. Just glue the poppy and stick the stick to it.
You should now have a poppy to represent and remember ANZAC day!
Hi Caitlyn, thanks for sharing the instructions. I wonder if you could put a picture of the finished poppy so we could see the final product. What did you do with the poppies you made? Did you put them out where other people could see them?
ReplyDeleteHi Caitlyn. Well done for making poppies it sounds like you’ve made a real effort . It’s been great walking around and seeing them in windows on fences. It’s such an important day for all of us to come together and remember. Do you have any pictures you could show?
