How to make a fabric poppy? This is a popular search request that regularly brings visitors to my website. And more so now, when poppy flowers are in very much in demand.

 Let us have a look how we, too, can make this so familiar, yet so unique, versatile and different flower.
I have always been charmed by the opulent petals of this beautiful flower. If you have been following PresentPerfect Creations for a while Friend, you can probably remember that I released a tutorial on a beginner no tool fabric poppy very early on in my teaching career.
This simple yet accessible design is still popular and can be found on my wesbite together with a relevant kit.
In case if you do not have a set of tools, dyes, etc this is a flower to try and make Friend. Right now with the purchase of the kit you get the poppy corsage tutorial FREE OF CHARGE.
As part of my live video demonstration schedule, I presented an online demonstration on very popular wild velvet poppies.  These velvet red velvet poppy brooch beauties are compact and rather robust thanks to the choice of materials which means they are so very wearable. The detailed centre adds extra realism to this stunning bloom.
Needless to say these poppies can be made in a variety of coours. Think white, purple, black as well as other colours for yours. This simple yet impactful flower brooch remains one of the most popular in my shop.
If you missed this live demonstration Friend, do not worry as the full recording of this demo is now available for you on my website.

This poppy is part of my advanced OVERSIZED BLOOMS video course launched several months ago and is the most advanced poppy flower to date. It is perfect for hat trims as well as flower headpieces and headbands.

red velvet veteran poppy

 

Undoubtedly fabric poppies have always been popular. Especially fire engine red ones, which resemble the simple wild poppies grown without any cultivation in a natural setting. As we all know the red remembrance poppy has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem “In Flanders Fields”. To cater for all tastes I have several Remembrance poppies in my portfolio ranging from satin to velvet ones, with and without foliage, with just 4 petals or a fuller version witha lot of them

Here is one of the most popular designs:

But those of us who are into gardening surely know oriental poppies with their large blooms and fluffy leaves.
My newest poppy creation was inspired by these impressive oriental poppies.
 An amazingly full and at the same time light, almost transparent large poppy flower can be turned into an impressive headpiece to complete a wedding or romantic look, a corsage or a hat decoration.
Large silk poppy
I made it using finest silk fabrics that have been painted by hand. The flower can be created in other colours to match your outfit or colour scheme. For more information on the poppy flower please head to my Etsy shop

In November I was talking about new poppy designs which I would like to add to my oh-so-popular existing line. One of the ideas was to create a poppy using luxurious velvet fabric. Finally last weekend I found the time for this experiment.
Please welcome the wild poppy made of cotton velvet for petals and cotton melton for leaves and stems.

The flower is mounted on  brooch base for easy attachment. Here’s how the back of it looks like

As always all the leaves and in this case petals are lined with silk organza. The poppy brooch is available at my Etsy shop.
I hope you will like the new poppy design as you do the previous ones. Meanwhile I shall think about implementing my other ideas in soft velvet and luxurious pure silks.

It is the beginning of November and I am busy making veteran poppies! Buyers manage to find my flowers on some obscure websites I forgot I was using to sell my handmade brooches 🙂

This year I slightly modernised the look of 2 brooches I am selling as veteran poppies: one of the brooches is made of cotton velvet and no leaves or stems

the other one (although with less petals) features 2 hand painted pure silk leaves

I already have fresh exciting ideas for new poppies for the next year which I will present soon. I am going to play with new fabrics and probably shapes too.
Another idea which is hanging in the air is to make a leather poppy. I wonder if my dear customers like it… I am definitely going to give it a go especially that I have all the needed materials including gorgeous thin red leather for it.

As a kind reminder I would like to mention my poppy tutorial again. Using this tutorial you still have plenty of time to create a poppy (or two!) to wear or give to someone special before the 11 November.

The poppies are available for purchase from my online shop. The tutorial can be purchased from  my Tutorials e-store.
