R-100 Plastic Bottle Poppies
Large plastic bottles with the shaped bottoms can be used to make poppies.
Two litre bottles are ideal but other smaller sizes can also be used.
This short video shows what you need and how to make the Bottle Poppies
In summary you will need:
Plastic bottles (1.5L or 2L bottles are best) with the poppy like shape on the bottom
(please make sure they are washed and dry otherwise the paint may not stick)
Matt red ARTFX paint (from larger Halfords stores or online)
A respiratory mask suitable for use with spray paint
A 4mm drill bit and some split pin paper fasteners
Exterior black paint and small paint brush
PVC coated wire netting (25mm mesh in green or black) ideally 50cm width and then cut into 2 metre lengths for easy handling
(We have some supplies of the paper fasteners and the wire netting. Please call John Hughes on 01277 821805 if you need these items)
