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.

Check out Gail's other ideas for paper creations like sunflowers, leaves, and fish -- reading the Sunday paper has never been more fun!
