Poppy petals are very delicate, so our wafer paper is really conducive to giving them that realistic quality. These flowers also happen to be fairly easy to make because they only have 6 petals – a perfect starting place for beginner wafer paper flower artists!
Put your own spin on the project by choosing different colors, adding your own personal touch, or creating a bright bouquet of them!
