Paper Poppy Wall Decor with Free Template
There is nothing that symbolizes November 11th all over the world like the poppy. A field of poppies is an inspiring sight to see and is the inspiration behind our Paper Poppy Wall Decor. The combination of the red and orange petals popping on a wall, with textured black and yellow centres, makes these pretty paper poppies a beautiful 3D piece of art.

Start by cutting six large flower petals from the red paper using the free template provided. These should be about 5″ wide by 6″ long.

Cut a slit into the bottom edge of each petal, about 1.5″ deep.

Slightly fold one of the split edges over the other and then glue in place. This will lift the petals and give them depth.

Use a small dish or other round object to make a circle from the black paper. Snip the edges of the circle all the way around and then use your fingers to ‘curl’ or fold the cuts to make them stand up.

Make some leaves from green paper. Begin by folding the paper in half and then cutting a long, slim oval on the fold. With the paper still folded, cut small indents along the curved edge. Unfold the leaves and glue some together in small bunches to go around the flowers.
