Description

Made this Remembrance Day poppy to wear yesterday. If I’d collected a £ for every compliment I received I’d have raised a few quid for the good cause!

It was actually a trial which worked out rather well so I decided to make it into a brooch! Tried out a technique which is best described as the ‘Inverted Suffolk Puff’. It measures approch 15 cm across.

I’ll try to put up a ‘how to’ if anyone’s interested.

Material Notes

Red and black satin, felt for the back, fusible webbing if required, pin.

      Hi! Thanks for your compliment.

      If you click on ‘instructions’ at the top of the photo, you’ll find a step-by-step how to to make your own!

    Yes, please post a how-to. I was just thinking about how to make a poppy brooch since the ones you get from the veterans always fall off or stab you in the chest!
