We’ve made lots of poppy crafts over the years, using common household materials, but this is the first time we’ve made egg carton poppies.

Guys. I love them! They were very quick and easy to make, they’re so pretty, and you can use them for so many different art and craft projects for Remembrance Day, Veteran’s Day and Anzac Day.

Ways to use egg carton poppies:

  • attach stems and display in a vase
  • glue to a painted canvas
  • paper plate or cardboard wreath

There are countless possibilities!
