Crepe paper Poinsettias and Iced Queen Wreath

Hello everyone!!!
Today I would like to show you how to make your own crepe (tissue) paper Poinsettia flowers. As you know, or don't, Poinsettia is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and it is widely used in Christmas floral displays. So why not trying to make your own paper beautiful Poinsettias that you can use as a gift, wreath or Christmas tree decoration. So in today's tutorial I will show you step by step how to make your paper Christmas flower and also I will show you where I used it as a decor.

For Poinsettia flower you need : crepe or tissue paper of red color preferably, yarn, scissors, glue and glitter.

First start with choosing your crepe paper or tissue paper (might be even a napkin), preferably red color. Cut out a square and fold the paper into a triangle 3 times

Then mark with a pen the shape of the petals with center in the fold and cut it

That should be the shape of each layer of the flower

Pull apart all layers of petals

Place them all on top of each other so that all tips can be seen

Fold the flower in 2 and punch hole and string through hole a twine or yarn or even a ribbon

Glue it in the center and sprinkle some glitter on it to add more festive accent 

And here you go! Your Poinsettias are ready to go on

You can use it on your wrapped package as a gift topper

Or add some leaves and create you unique Christmas flower display

Or use it as a main decoration for your Christmas Wreath, as I did!

So here is my Red Iced Queen Christmas Wreath with crepe paper Poinsettias that look very good on it.

Supplies I needed for the wreath are: polystyrene round shape, red yarn for wrapping around the shape, plastic snowflakes, wooden Christmas decorations like small snowflakes, glue, scissors, ribbon, glass red and white baubles and artificial silver leaves.
