Greetings! Last year, made several large poinsettia pillows, and this year I’ve recreated the same project on a smaller scale. These smaller blooms are the perfect size for embellishing gifts or other favorite things like stockings or pillows!
How to Make Felt Poinsettias:
Supplies: Felt rectangles (29¢ each at my local Michaels); button cover kits ($3 for 3 from Joann’s Fabrics); needle and thread!
Step One: Cut out 8 large petals, 4 to 8 small petals, square base, and 2 leaves. You can use this helpful template for sizing.
Step Two: Begin overlapping your large petals on the square base. Finish with eight petals overlapping each other.
Add the smaller petals on top, and the leaves to the bottom then stitch together with needle and complementary thread.
Step Three: Create the center with a button cover kit and leftover felt.
Attach button with needle and thread.
Trim edges of petals for a more natural look if you like.
Step Four (optional) Hot glue plain barrette clip to back of poinsettia flower.
Attach to any gift!
You could also use them on a lapel, as a wine bottle decoration, on a stocking, or pinned to a pillow for festive flair.
Tomorrow is another Holiday Home link party over at Rhoda’s . . .
~ see you there!

These are great and just the craft I was looking for. Thank you!
Those are beautiful! Everything you do is soo great!
Oh headed over now!
Love it! Especially on the quilted stockings… I think you need to bust out a matching treeskirt. A little bed of poinsettias… love it.
Love this! I’m off to create some of my own =)
Loving the flowers. I think they add such a thoughtful touch to a gift. And having them on the stockings is adorable! You rock, Kate! (:
I love the flowes, and thanks for the tutorial. I have plans for next year (I can’t believe I’m thinking about next Christmas) to make a wool felt tree skirt like the one at Garnet Hill for $198. I’m thinking about making a few of your poinsettia pillows to tie the decor in my living room together. They compliment that tree skirt nicely. Sigh.. so many projects, so little time!
These are so sweet…thanks Kate ;)
Thanks for the idea! they look great! I’m going to go buy supplies to make some tonight!
When I saw your pillow last year, I actually did make some of these smaller flowers to use as hair clips. They really are beautiful! Maybe this year I’ll get to the pillow. ;)
Those are adorable! Janell
beautiful=)
I love these! I’ll be sure to visit Becky to read your full tutorial.
They are gorgeous! What a beautiful addition to a package, and would make a great keepsake for the recipient too.
I love the felt pointsettias! They look great on your PB stocking!
I think those are beautiful…love that white one!
So pretty, Kate. That little package is beautifully adorned and your poinsettia adds a nice festive pop of color on your wonderful cozy stocking. I think I’ll add felt onto my list when I go to Jo Anns and try to make some of these.
I so need to make some of these!! I especially love the white one but the red one really jazzes up that stocking.
You’re welcome! Thanks for being one of my Top 10 in November, too. :)
Love those felt poinsettias. So pretty!
So lovely, I love it.
HOW cute is that!!

How simply elegant. I love the poinsettias!!! Hmmmm, may actually do a project like this .. thank you Kate for the inspiration! :)
I love these. Thank you for sharing the “how to”…I will definitely do these sometime soon.
Have a wonderful holiday season.

Very pretty, I love it:@)
Those are awesome! I don’t know how I missed this “how-to” but I just recently came up with one of my own, different approach, similar result. Thanks for sharing.
I love this and can’t wait to try it!!!
I made this as a gift topper for my mother in law. She was amazed. Your easy to understand tutorial is due all the credit. I am new to the blogging world but plan on linking this incredible tutorial tomorrow (giving full credit where credit is due). Thanks for sharing!
