Recycled paper poppies

That Artist Woman features tips for making these beautiful homemade poppies and they are absolutely darling! Truly white, black and "red" all over, these poppies are easily made using leftover newspaper, paint, twigs and actual poppy seeds for the centers.

In the full walkthrough, author Gail explains that the classifieds are best because they have limited pictures, and that hair picks are a good tool for adding texture to the paint. Check out Gail's other ideas for paper creations like sunflowers, leaves and fish — reading the Sunday paper has never been more fun!
