Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Felt sheet(s) red
- 1 Button(s) 3/4" or larger
- Ribbon(s) for hanging
- Embroidery floss or thread, optional
- Circle template
Instructions
- Cut the felt into 14 1-1/2" circles and one 2" circle. You can use the template provided.
- Roll a small circle of felt into a small cone and secure with hot glue. Be VERY sparing with the glue so it doesn't make a mess. I didn't even squeeze the trigger of my glue gun, and just used the small amount that was dripping out of the front.
- Glue the remaining circles (minus the 2" circle) into cones. Alternate gluing left over right and right over left to make a pattern.
- Glue the cones into seven pairs to form the poinsettia petals.
- Glue the pairs together to make a big ring.
- Turn the poinsettia over and glue the large circle on the back, sandwiching the ribbon in between for hanging.
- Sew a button in the middle of the flower with a piece of embroidery floss or thread. You can also hot glue the button.
