With just a few materials, it’s easy to create vibrant paper poinsettias that will enhance
holiday food packaging, gift wrapping, and table settings. Affix several of these dimensional
flowers in a ring to produce a dazzling handcrafted wreath.
Using our Black Cherry leaf stamp and
Sterling stamp pad, stamp seven leaves onto red
craftstock; these will be the poinsettia petals.
Stamp two more leaves onto light green craftstock
for the poinsettia leaves. Cut out with our
craft scissors, leaving a very thin border around
the stamp and cutting off the stem.
Cut out a 2-inch-square red base and affix
a large square of adhesive foam to the center.
Construct the poinsettia by overlapping the
petals on the foam in a circle. Glue the two green
leaves to the base behind the flower as shown in
the cover photo. Apply three dots of gel adhesive
at the center of the flower and coat with Bronze
glitter. Note: If the glue dot contracts as it dries,
fill with more glue and reapply glitter.
