Supplies
Paper:
Red vellum
Green vellum

Tools and other supplies:
Embossing wheel
Wooden dowel
Glue gun and glue sticks
Gold dimensional fabric paint
Gold glitter spray
Optional: Varnish

Instructions:
1. Cut two poinsettia blossoms from red
vellum.
2. Cut three leaves from green vellum.
3. Stipple veins on each petal and leaf with the embossing wheel.
4. To create dimension, roll one blossom piece around a wooden dowel.
5. With a glue gun, adhere the leaves to the center of the bottom (flat) blossom piece, then add the top (dimensional) blossom piece.
6. To make the flower center, apply six dots of gold fabric paint. (The fabric paint forms beautiful dimensional centers and helps hide the glue.) Let dry.
7. Spray with a light coating of gold glitter spray. A coat of varnish can be added to strengthen and beautify.
