Paper Flower Making: Poinsettia

About Paper Flower Making: Poinsettia

Come along and get into the festive spirit with this Christmas paper Poinsettia class. Jen from Edinburgh Paper Flowers will guide you step by step through the process, sharing hints and tips along the way.

Unlike real poinsettias, which fade and wilt quickly, paper poinsettias stay vibrant and beautiful for years, making them a lasting holiday decoration. They are pet-safe too, allowing you to enjoy festive decorations without worrying about your furry friends.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned crafter, in just a few hours you'll learn the art of crafting paper Poinsettias from beautiful Italian crepe paper.

All materials are included.
