How to make ANZAC Poppies

Today me and my mum made ANZAC Poppies.

You will need:
1 red New World or Warehouse reusable shopping bag
1 black plastic bottom from the shopping bag
Pins
1 dinner plate
1 saucer
1 glass
A pencil or pen to draw the circles

Steps:

1. On one side of the shopping bag, draw around the dinner plate
2. On the other side of the shopping bag, draw around the saucer
3. On the black plastic, draw around the glass
4. Cut out the circles you have just drawn
5. Carefully poke the pin through the middle of the black circle and set aside for later
6. Lay your 2 red circles on top of each other with the bigger circle on the bottom
7. Fold the circles in half and then fold them in half again the other way
8. Hold the point of the circle and fold out the edges of the poppy
9. Get your black circle with the pin in it and carefully poke it through the centre of the poppy
10. Carefully bend the end of the pin at the back so you don't get pricked by it

Hang the poppy on your fence when you Stand at Dawn for ANZAC Day

  1. Hi Hayley,
    Fantastic looking poppies, you are very creative. I saw that you and your family were up at 6am outside your house on ANZAC day to remember those who have fallen and to honour our returning and serving servicemen and women. Well done Vaka family
