If you look around at the moment, there are a profusion of poppies, not in the meadows but on lapels and radiator grills and Facebook Profiles. We are but 6 days from Remembrance Day next Monday, with Remembrance Sunday falling the day before.
My children are not the only ones asking about the significance of the pretty red flowers, so I’ve compiled a list of 15 Poppy Crafts for Remembrance Day.

What an amazing site. I am currently running a charity shop lovely thoughts on ways we can reuse some items. Now just need to find some time to create!
Those biscuits are such a great idea
aren’t they @over40? That Red Ted Art/Life at The Zoo is very creative 🙂
I always feel put to shame reading craft posts. I really want to make cute lovely things with my kids but seriously – where do people find the time and energy for all these things? These are very cute though. Love the cookies.
I thought the biscuits were fabulous too @NOtFromLapland 🙂
I’d never have thought of biscuits @Maggy!
I thought it was fabulous @Jenny, but yours was great too- and uses paper plates which are one of my favourite crafty materials.
Thanks for including me. The egg carton wreath is inspired!
Oh my goodness! So many great ideas (didn’t know there was THIS much you could make!!) Great selection and you are the champion of Remembrance Day for sure! Thanks for the cookie mention!
