Step 3.
Cut a slit into the poppy as shown.

Step 4.
Use double sided tape (or glue) to for the poppy base into a cone-shape. The dotted line shows how far to overlap the edges.

Step 5.
Insert a split pin through the centre of the top piece of the poppy and then through the base. It may help to pierce the card with a sharp object to make this easier.

Turn up one of the ends of the split pin to hold the pieces in place.

Step 6.
Cut a slit in the central piece, as shown.
Use Double-sided tape or glue to adhere the central piece onto the poppy.  Allow the edges of the central piece to overlap as required.

Step 7.
Use Sticky tape to attach the green pipe cleaner to the end of the split pin.

Step 8. (Optional)
Use glue or double-sided sticky tape to attach a black pom pom to the centre of the flower.
