Poinsettia Christmas Card
This Christmas card is also a gift! The felt poinsettia is a pin that can be removed from the card and worn as a brooch to holiday parties or on Christmas day. Better yet, slide the safety pin (which is on the back of the flower) through the teeth of a bobby pin, and voila! You now have a hair pin.
Supplies & Tools:
- Ribbon
- Decorative cardstock
- Poinsettia applique
- Small safety pin
- Scrap of green felt
- Mini hot glue gun
- Mini hot glue sticks
- Scissors
- Ruler
Directions:
- Measure and cut a 6″ x 8″ piece of cardstock.
- Fold cardstock in half, forming a 6″ x 4″ card.
- Cut a piece of ribbon that is 3.5″ long. Set aside.
- Cut green felt in a circle that is about 0.75″ in diameter.
- Place circle inside the safety pin. (To prevent gluing the wrong side of pin, open the safety pin.)
- Hold the open side of pin between thumb and forefinger.
- On the other side, apply hot glue to the felt and pin.
- Immediately press onto the back of the flower.
- Set flower aside.
- Attach ribbon to the card. Apply a thin line of hot glue on the short edge of ribbon.
- Immediately press onto the card, aligning edge of ribbon with the top edge of card.
- Now pin the poinsettia applique to the ribbon.
- Pick up the bottom edge of ribbon. Apply a thin line of hot glue along the edge and press in place.
- Now your card is done.

@ Paris ~ I’m sure you could make one! Just follow the instructions above, and I’m sure you’ll do a great job. And remember: even the best artists were once beginners
