VIDEO: Extra Fine Crepe Poppy (Starter Pattern)
Poppying Up Everywhere!
Poppies are such a great flower to make from crepe paper. There is something about the delicate petals that translate so well with our extra-fine crepe paper. For this crepe paper poppy, we used three colors from our extra-fine Enchanted Garden collection. You can use the cherry, onyx, and juniper as we did for this project or add orange and yellow poppies into your bouquet with the other colors in this collection. The starter pattern for this extra fine crepe paper poppy is included in the Enchanted Garden collection. Or you can download the pattern below for free.

Back to the TopAny suggestions for making this a wearable, lapel size? Or are there any other crepe paper poppy designs you can recommend? I frequent veterans events and would love to have a lapel poppy in my stash.
You could make this much smaller for the small lapel version. Here is a felt version that might work if it were a bit smaller. https://liagriffith.com/felt-red-poppies/
Hi Lia,
What size cotton spun ball did you use for this flower. The materials list only says a small one.
Thanks,
Lu Ann Rogers
Hi! The link will take you to the 15mm size balls in our shop 🙂
I’ve recently bought your Enchanted Garden flower kit and I’ve started with it. I did the poppy flower, but I couldn’t finish with the other flowers in the kit as only the pattern for poppy flower is given in the kit. Please suggest me how to go about it now
Hi Arpita! Only the poppy is included in the Enchanted Garden Crepe Paper pack. You can find the other flowers pictured on the front of the pack by following these links: https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-red-charm-peony-video-tutorial/ https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-sweet-peas/ https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-chinese-lantern-flowers/ https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-kumquat-branches/
I am doing a project at the moment and ii need 4 packs of cherry fine crepe paper, how do I get this.
Look forward to your reply

Hi Carol! We do not currently offer that color in single sleeves, it is only available in the Enchanted Garden Collection. We do have the color “Cranberry” in single sleeves which is currently on sale! It is a slightly darker shade of red than the cherry is.
