Felt Poppy Brooch

How to make a Poppy Brooch

1. Cut out 4 circles of red felt about 5cm in diameter.

   • Fold each circle in half, then half again. Make a couple of stitches in the corner so they hold their shape. 

   • Sew the folded edges of two circles together just up from the corner. Then sew the other 2 circles the same way and sew together.  Just a few stitches in the centre will do. 

   • Sew through the centre to attach a black button.

   • Cut 2 leaf shapes using the green felt and attach to the back of the poppy. Make them slightly overlapping each other. If using as a brooch attach a small circle of either green or black felt then attach a brooch fastener.

How to make a Poppy Wreath

Create poppies as above. There is no need to attach leaves to all of the flowers. Wrap strips of black felt around a polystyrene wreath frame, attaching with a small amount of glue and pins. The flowers are added to the wreath by poking a pin through the bottom of each petal.
