Making poppies is something I grew up doing. In fact, we always celebrate poppy day and visit the memorials of those who died for us on the poppy fields back during the great world wars.
Wearing and making a red poppy flower is an important part of remembering those who died fighting for our freedom. This poppy flower is a great pencil topper but could also be made into a badge to be pinned and worn on Remembrance Sunday!
