paper corsages

Probably more of an inspiration, or mommy craft... these pretty corsages from Oh happy day require a glue gun and some patience.

Tissue Poppies

Make and Takes shares tissue posies perfect for precious poppies.
Oriental Trading offers a craft kit which includes the following poem:
“When you see this red flower, it is called a Poppy. Remember those who fought and died for our country. Remember their sacrifice, it is their lives that they gave. It is because of them we are known as Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.”.

Please see this Arlington Cemetery link for the significance of the poppy and loyalty.

Embroidered Heart Bookmarks

These Heart bookmarks are so pretty- could be used for Love of God, Love of Neighbor (make one to keep, one to give away!), and the red one is poppy-ish- right? :-) (Loyalty- Wreath 2).
*To simplify- precut the pieces, and let the girls use fabric glue vs. sewing on elements.  Fabric markers could be used for embellishment.
