We have been making Poppies out of Plywood Cupcake wrappers and red,Black, green and an under coat, a Jigsaw a pencil and a compass( Not a North South West East compass It's like a pencil but it has a little metal bit on the other side of it) . The flower will be red. The black will be for the middle. The sticks will be green. We will be putting them in our garden on ANZAC day.
How did you make the poppies? Dad and I found some wood in the Garage. Then we both drew a shape of a poppy with the compass. After we had drawn the shape on the compass we got a pencil out and made it look like a Poppy. Then Dad got the Jigsaw out and he cut one out then he let me cut one out. After we had cut them out I got to paint the under cote for the Poppies.
The Next day in the Morning Dad and I painted the first red cote we left that to dry. The same day but in the Afternoon we put the second Red cote on the Poppies then Dad put the under coat on for the stalks. The next morning we put the coat on for the middle of the Poppy which is black then we got the green out and put the coat on for that. We let them to dry. Here is some photos of my Poppies.
Have you ever made Poppies if so what have you made them out of?
Hi Benjamin
ReplyDeleteWow, these poppies are fabulous! You and your dad are very clever. I have made many different poppies over the years....mostly with paper and cardboard. There is a house near mine where people have painted poppies on their fence and I have seen lots of chalk drawings to commemorate Anzac Day. Where are you going to display this fabulous art you have created Benjamin?
Hello Mrs Finlaycene,
ReplyDeleteWe will be putting them in the garden by the letter box.

This look wonderful, Benjamin. You and your dad have put a lot of effort into making them and this is a lovely way to show remembrance on ANZAC Day. Will you get up at dawn on the 25th? I have made many poppies in the past but only using paint and paper - nothing as lovely as these. Thank you for sharing.
