Make your own Poppy Flower

Lay three layers of red tissue paper on your work surface and draw a circle on the top paper using a lid or a compass. Cut all three according to the outlined circle. 

Then lay three pieces of black tissue paper, using a much smaller lid outline a circle and cut it. 

Place the stack of black circles on the red circles and pass a green pipe cleaner through the centre of the papers. Bend the pipe cleaner down in a hook shape and pull it down through the paper and secure the pipe cleaner to the paper poppy with glue. 

Finally lift the tissue papers to make a poppy flower. It is a simple and thoughtful act that can be completed within a couple of minutes. Join together with your kids, classmates, colleagues or even students and remember the brave.
