DIY Crepe Paper Poinsettia Gift Toppers....
Step 1: We are basically making a Poinsettia, but it could
be any large flower. To make it more authentic, stick to colors that
poinsettias would be, like red, light pink or white.
Step 2: Cut 16 short lengths of crepe paper streamer. Stack
and trim to about 7 inches.
Step 3: Separate and stack 4 sets of 4 pieces. Fold in half.
Cut into petal shape from the fold. Repeat for all sets.
Step 4: Unfold each set and twist gently in the center.
Repeat for all sets.
Step 5: Cut a strip of twine about 6″ long. Lay twine flat
and layer the twisted sets of petals in an ‘X’ shape over the twine.
Step 6: Tie all the layers together in the center. Double
knot on the backside of your flower.
Step 7: Cut a 4 inch strip of tinsel ribbon. This was a
wired ribbon and I pulled out the wire, but you don’t have to.
Step 8: Tie the tinsel around the center of the flower and
double knot, with the knot facing the front of the flower.
Step 9: Trim the ends of the tinsel but leave a short stub
to mimic the center of the flower. Fluff and pull gently all the petals to form
a flower.
Step 10: Keep arranging the petals until you are happy with
the result. It should form a light and airy poinsettia....
