Let's get crafting together!
Directions:
Step 1: Wrap black ribbon tightly around the metal hanger.
Step 2: Wrap the ribbon back to the base of the hanger and secure with hot glue.
Step 3: Ink the stamp with Real Red ink.
Top Tip: As this is a large stamp it may be easier to place facing upwards and tap the ink pad onto it.
Step 4: Stamp onto Red card stock 6 times.
Step 5: Line up the die with the stamped image.
Step 6: Die cut all of the petals.
Step 7: Ink the edges of all the petals using real red ink using a stack and store dauber.
Step 8: Spritz the reverse or back side of the die cut petals with water.
Step 9: Shape the reverse or back side of the poppy with the flower shaping ball tool.
Step 10: Turn the flower over and use a slightly smaller ball tool in the centre of the flower - this will encourage the petals to lift.
Step 11: Use a small amount of wet glue in the centre of one set of petals, offset another set of petals on top and glue into place.
Step 12: Put some hot glue in the centre of the poppy and cover in black Gala Glitz. Allow the glue to harden.
Step 13: Tap off to remove the excess Gala Glitz.
Step 14: Take a handful of raffia strands and tie them together in the centre with a piece of the raffia.
Step 15: Tie a 2nd raffia string loosely approximately 6-7" further down the raffia and tease the first section open.
Step 16: Tie a 3rd section quite tightly.
Step 17: Check that the ties are in the right place to fit the scarf hanger and cut a few very thin black pieces of card.
Step18: Place the black strips of card under the lowest raffia tie and hot glue the raffia to the scarf hanger.
Step 19: Position the poppies onto the wreath and begin to hot glue them into place.
Step 20: Tuck some of the smaller poppies amongst the raffia to give the effect that the poppies are falling off.
