CleverPatch Crafternoons: Commemoration Poppy Lantern

Get ready for ANZAC Day on the 25th of April with our Commemoration Poppy Lantern. Made from simple collage materials, this lantern is a lovely way to light up the dark for a dawn service.
  • Step 1Take the lid of the plastic jar and colour it black using a permanent marker.
  • Step 2Cut the cellophane squares into small pieces. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. Use a glue stick to glue the cellophane pieces inside the plastic jar. Continue to apply cellophane pieces until the inside of the jar is completely covered.
  • Step 3Use a permanent marker to write a message or draw a silhouette on the outside of the jar. We have drawn a cross and written the words ‘Lest We Forget’.
  • Step 4Download and print the template provided. Use the template to cut out a poppy shape from red cardboard. Draw in some details using the permanent marker.
  • Step 5Push the poppy onto the bottom of the jar. It should fit snuggly over the bottom ridge and sit in place. Switch a battery LED tealight candle on and place it into the jar.
  • DO NOT use a naked flame in this project. Only use a battery LED tealight for safety reasons.
  • Step 6Screw the lid onto the jar. Create a handle for the lantern using 2 chenille stems, twisting them in place as shown.
  • Step 7Turn off the lights and watch the warm glow of your beautiful Commemoration Poppy Lantern!
