Felt Poinsettia Christmas Craft

Christmas is in the air and I can’t help but get excited for the twinkle lights, the music, the cozy nights by the tree, and the “magic” that fills our homes. As a mom, it’s even more special now, seeing that same sparkle in my kids’ eyes that I remember feeling myself.

This simple felt poinsettia craft is one of my favorite ways to kick off the season. It’s such a beautiful reminder that handmade decorations can be just as charming, if not more, than anything you buy in the store. You can use these little poinsettias as ornaments, attach them to gifts as pretty handmade tags, or even turn them into festive napkin rings for your holiday table.

SUPPLIES NEEDED TO MAKE A FELT POINSETTIA

Red, Green and White Felt
Ribbon, if making them as ornaments
Pearl Stickers, your local craft store and Dollar tree should have these as well
Scissors
Craft Glue, such as Aleene’s (hot glue will change the color of the felt so stick with the liquid glue)

How To Make a Homemade Felt Poinsettia

Step 1: Cut your Petals, Center Square and Leaves

Use our free template to cut out your petals. Trace the shapes onto red felt and cut out about ten petals—five for the base layer and five for the top.

Step 2: Form the First Layer

Using the small square begin to glue your petals. Start by gluing two petals horizontally across from each other, having the tips slightly touch. Glue two petals above the horizontal ones and two below.
