Good Morning !
I am always faced with the same dilemma every year leading up to Remembrance Day and that is … How to keep my Poppy from falling off .
Over the years I have lost numerous Poppy , either just falling off or catching on something and being torn off, blowing away in the wind or just getting lost in the closet with my other clothing.
This morning I am sharing some Hacks to help prevent you from Losing your poppy .
1. Try an Eraser: Tear or cut off a bit of an eraser, push the pin through your coat, then add the eraser bit to the end, and there ya go !
2. Try Duct Tape: Either push your poppy through your coat and tape the pin down, covering the entire needle, or push the pin through, then wrap tape around the needle, preventing it from falling out.
3. Try a Safety Pin: Pull your poppy’s pin out entirely and replace it with a safety pin.
4. Try a Lapel Pin: Remove the needle and push through a flag pin. Then take the back and clasp it down, securing the poppy in place.
5. Try Bending the Pin: Push the pin through your jacket. Then using a pair of pliers, carefully bend the needle so that it won’t easily slip out.
6. Try Weaving the Pin through your coat material. ( This never works for me )
