The felt poppies seemed to work better than the crepe paper ones - the thinkness of the felt made the difference - a wonderful activity - Thankyou - Shirley NSW
I got the idea for this by watching the festive wall art and the paper poppies tutorials that you have on Golden Carers... thank you, we loved doing this.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing your photo and ideas.

When I did the poppies for Remembrance Day I used them in a wreath (I used a Christmas one) I also made some more poppies to put in around LED lights for effect at my service.

Lucky for us the Christmas decorations are out now..hence how I got a wreath to reuse every year....will also find a photo and add later.
What a great idea... residents will be putting them on a wreath, we are working on for Remembrance Day. I will post a photo when done. thanks again.

You're quite the special angel here to assist everyone. It takes a special kind of person to deal with seniors - they are not given the respect or credit they so deserve to have lasted this long on this earth. To have witnessed such history is amazing. So many are forgotten about and I try everyday to share RAOKs (Random Acts of Kindness) with any person I see that could use it - thank you again for the great ideas which I hope to spread around the area to help make others know how special they are.
