Poppy Makes... show your support - EURO2020

Tonight the men's Dutch national football team will play their first match against the Ukraine. That is why I thought it would be a good idea to show you a few ideas how you can show your support for your team. Down below I have listed a few of my video tutorials I made over the past few years. Okay the video on how I have learned to play the Dutch national anthem and the carrot cake video is more for the Dutch fans, carrot hence the Orange but the football bracelet and even the flower crown could be for any team. All you have to do for the flower crown for instance in change your colors to the colors of the flags country you are supporting. I hope I gave you a few fun DIY ideas wishing you all a good EURO2020!

Poppy Makes... Valentines day printable cards

 

 

It has been quite some time since I posted something, uploaded a video, wrote a blog, made a printable etc. Let's just say, this pandemic and self-isolation has had a bigger effect on me than I could have ever imagined at the beginning of this pandemic. Even though I am no stranger to isolation it is though. But that is not what I wanted to talk about maybe I'll post a new blog soon about how it has been going. I figured I would try to pick up a little where I left of because crafting always makes me happy, so... to start off I made some new Valentines day printables. 

They are of course as always free to download in PDF format. All you need to do is click here to get your own copy. Don't forget to check out below there you'll find some of my previous printables and Valentines day inspired video tutorial.

Have fun!

Happy pride month

I am a bit late to the party but hej it is still pride month and I have been wanting to make a step by step video on how to make pride inspired bracelets to show support but I just haven’t been feeling up to it. I am so tired because of my chronic illness and this quarantine thing is getting at me. But anyhow I did wanna celebrate pride month because I think it is so important that we support each other, especially in times like these and that we should all be more vocal about the things we support. So I wanted to show you how to make LGBTQIA+ inspired bracelets in rainbow colours and such in a step by step video tutorial. But since I just hadn't gotten round to it I also thought what a shame because I did make the patterns and all, so long story longer... I thought why not at least upload the patterns so here they are. All you have to do is click on the pattern you want to download or print to get the free pattern in PDF.

If you do need some more background on how to make an alpha bracelet or a friendship bracelet I’ll put 2 previous video tutorials I made a little while back down below in which I show step-by-step step how to make those kinds of bracelets. 

Have fun!

#BerenJacht #BearHunt - yay or nay or may

So at first when I heard about this #BearHunt #Berenjacht thing that was a big hit in Australia, Belgium and now also here in the Netherlands I didn't really know how to feel about it, wasn't it something that could encourage people to go outside when they weren't allowed to or at least not if it wasn't necessary?! And maybe that is just because I need to be extremely cautious because me and my family don't set a foot outside since we all belong in the group that is at high risk. But I do get it, it is a fun and cute initiative for children in these weird times where they don't get to see their parent(s), friend, teacher, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin etc. and when they do go outside that there is something fun for them to do and see and it is not all scary out there in the big bad world. And no I would be crazy to encourage people to all go outside and go on a #BearHunt #BerenJacht because please do not go outside if it is not necessary and I wouldn't even encourage people to go and take a morning/ an evening stroll but I get that you want to, but if you do go outside and you do need to take your kid somewhere outside with you I get it. I think it is a lovely initiative because it puts their focus on something else and not that they aren't going to school or that they can't play outside with their friends. And I like to think that we are now more than ever need to live in a society where we support each other and take one and other into consideration with our actions and help each other if we are in a position to and if we can. So even if you don't understand something at first or you don't always get what is behind it, doesn't mean you should bash it, as I have seen so many do with this #BearHunt thing. I mean they aren't hunting for real bears he. So with that all in mind, I created 2 printables (free to download in pdf) for these #BearHunts. One a colouring page and one already coloured in.

You can download the printable colouring page here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pculTPNaFjqwMpeeRuhCFsQjYChn0Byq
and you can download the already coloured in printable page here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SenPyoJAteqpK_BztJiAg8_cxEaLgbWA

Plus don't forget if you like colouring pages to check out the colouring pages page where you can find loads more free to download colouring pages but also loads of free to download printables.

*Disclaimer: I am really not encouraging anyone to go outside unnecessarily. But I do get when you must go outside, I get it can work as a distraction for the kids and that I think is a lovely idea.

Poppy Makes... a Valentine's mandala 💕

Hej there,

I have made a new mandala colouring page which you can download for free in PDF format on the colouring pages page. I always love making colouring pages myself it is quite relaxing making them and also giving them some colour. I think for me the colouring is the most relaxing part. Because that is where you don't really have to think about what you are gonna draw just pick some pretty colours and just make it come alive. Well, at least that is how I feel. On the colouring pages page, you can find more Valentines day inspired printables from more colouring pages to cards and name tags. For me, Valentine's day doesn't have to be something big you know. I think it is the little things that matter so if it is a card on which you tell someone what they mean to you or a mandala filled with someone's favourite colours I think those are the things that make something special and makes someone feel special. I hope you feel a little inspired to make something for your Valentine and I wish you a lovely Valentines day.

Hi I am Poppy

Hi there, maybe you have been following me here for a while or maybe it is the first time you have visited my blog. But since I haven't posted for a while I thought it would be a nice opportunity to kind of reintroduce myself. So I created Poppy Makes when I was 21 and I have always liked to crafting and baking. I like to be creative sounds so vague but it basically comes to that. I make video tutorials in which I show you how I make or bake something, which tools I have used, which tricks I have picked up along the way and these videos sometimes also include free printable patterns which I made myself. But I also make other kinds of printables like cards, calendars, mandala colouring pages etcetera and they are always free to download in PDF format. Of course, I like to scroll through all the pages of Pinterest, Instagram, just the web to find some inspiration and try to make or bake it myself. In the past two years I have picked up a new hobby and I have been learning how to play the ukelele. It has always been a dream of mine to learn to play an instrument. Although I can't say I am absolutely nailing this ukelele thing I have posted since then a couple of ukelele videos on my YouTube channel where you can follow my progress but also I show you in the videos which chords I use and strumming patterns. I am always open to new suggestions and ideas for a new video so don't be shy and come and follow me on any of my other social media channels or leave a comment down below.

love Poppy
