How to Make a Memorial Day Remembrance Wreath
Turn your beautifully colored poppy pages into a meaningful, 3D craft to hang on your front door and honor the holiday!
- Step 1: Print out several coloring pages featuring the remembrance poppies. Color them completely using bright, vibrant crimson reds, and carefully cut each flower out.
- Step 2: Take a standard paper plate and cut the entire center out of it, leaving only the outer ring to act as your wreath base.
- Step 3: Use a green marker or green paint to color the entire paper plate ring so it looks like a natural, leafy vine.
- Step 4: Glue your cut-out paper poppies all around the paper plate ring, slightly overlapping their edges to make the wreath look incredibly full and blooming!
- Step 5: Tie a piece of patriotic red, white, or blue ribbon to the top of the wreath and hang it proudly to show your respect for the brave men and women who served.
