How to put a poppy on with needle
The wearing of a red poppy is a time-honored tradition to show support and remembrance for veterans and those who have lost their lives in military service. Putting on a poppy with a needle can be a more secure and longer-lasting way to display this symbol of honor. In this guide, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to safely put on a poppy using a needle.
Step 1: Gather your materials
Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary materials. You will need a red poppy with a leaf, a sewing needle, and a pin or brooch to attach the poppy to your garment.
Step 2: Attach the needle to the poppy
Carefully thread the needle with a strong thread that matches the color of the poppy. Bring the needle through the top center of the poppy so that the thread comes out the bottom. Repeat this process a couple of times to ensure that the needle is securely attached to the poppy.
Step 3: Prepare your garment
Decide where you want to place the poppy on your garment. Whether it’s a lapel, a shirt collar, or a hat, make sure the surface is clean and free of wrinkles. This will ensure a smooth and secure attachment of the poppy.
Step 4: Insert the needle into your garment
Hold the garment in one hand and carefully insert the needle through the fabric and out the other side. Make sure the needle goes through both the poppy and the garment to ensure a secure attachment. Repeat this step a few times in different directions to make sure the poppy is firmly attached.
Step 5: Secure the poppy in place
Once you have inserted the needle multiple times, secure the thread by either tying a knot or creating a loop and pulling the needle and thread through it. This will prevent the poppy from falling off. If you wish, you can also secure it further by adding a pin or a brooch through the fabric and behind the poppy.
Congratulations! You have successfully put on a poppy with a needle. By wearing it proudly, you are showing your support for our brave servicemen and women.
