How to Make a Reusable Felt Poppy
It’s poppy season! As the symbol of Remembrance Day, the poppy has significant and poignant meaning. And nestled in between Halloween and Christmas, this a great time to refresh and renew your home decor, a short break amidst the two biggest decorating holidays. Come November, a reusable felt poppy can help add a little reminder to be thankful for everything we have. You can use this versatile little flower in so many ways – pillows, in vases, on a canvas, in centerpieces, wreaths, and of course, you can wear them. Happy crafting and remember to donate to your local poppy fund.

Take a scrap piece of paper and fold it in half. Draw half of a heart onto the paper, making the straight edge on the fold. Cut out the heart shape. Use the cut-out to trace the heart onto the red felt. Cut out the felt heart, you’ll need four hearts in total.
Glue the heart petals together in the centre, overlapping the edges in the middle.
Cut a circle from the black felt slightly larger than your black button.
