What you'll need

How it works
-
Choose a closed poppy flower for the body and a head from a bloomed poppy flower. Make sure the stem of the closed poppy flower is long enough.
-
Remove the stem from the poppy head so that only the head remains, and attach it to the stem of the closed poppy flower.
-
Now comes the magical part. Carefully open the closed poppy flower so it unfolds like a dress. You can play a bit with the shape until it looks just right.
-
Your poppy doll is now ready. You can play with it or proudly give it as a handmade gift.
