    \r\n
  1. Paint a craft wreath green. Leave to dry. Add another coat and leave to dry.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Draw around your hand onto a sheet of green card and cut out the shape. Repeat this step until you have enough handprints cut out to fill around the wreath.<\/li>\r\n
  3. Stick down the handprints onto the wreath using a glue stick, overlapping the handprints creates a layered leaf-like appearance.<\/li>\r\n
  4. Draw 4 circles onto a sheet of red card roughly all the same size. The circles don\u2019t have to be perfect.<\/li>\r\n
  5. Cut out the circles place a small circle of glue in the centre of each circle and stick them on top of each other. This is to create the layered petals of a poppy. Leave to dry.<\/li>\r\n
  6. Once the poppy is dry, bend upwards the edges of the circles to create a layered petal effect.<\/li>\r\n
  7. Place a circle of glue in the centre of the top circle and stick down a medium-sized black pom pom for the centre of the poppy. Leave to dry.<\/li>\r\n
  8. Repeat previous steps to create 3 poppies for the wreath.<\/li>\r\n
  9. Stick down the 3 poppies to the bottom of the wreath using a glue stick.<\/li>\r\n
  10. Cut a piece of yellow, red or green ribbon roughly 15cm long and tie in a loop through the hole at the top of the wreath secured with a double knot.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n","shopping_list":"
