Hey y’all, hey! Today we are making a beautiful poinsettia from scraps of fabric! Music sheets, silver berries and a “Joy to the World” sentiment make this just as pretty as can be for Christmas decor. We made similar flowers a while back, and you can click HERE to see that blog post!
Check out the video below or follow along here for all the details!
Supplies:
Lizzy and Erin Store: 11X14 “Home for the Holidays” sign (Dollar Tree surface or any other will do!)
Thrifted: Hymnal
Stash: Large wired silver berries, a square of muslin, burlap
Amazon: Mod Podge, Rub ‘n Buff Click here to check out my crafting essentials (This is an Amazon affiliate link and I may receive a small compensation for items purchased from this link.)
Milton’s Daughter: IOD Letterpress stamps
Let’s make it!
I painted Mod Podge onto the surface, placed my hymnal sheets and covered them with another layer of Mod Podge. I dried it with my heat tool.
I used fabrics from a placemat, a ribbon and also some cotton ticking and just cut them out in a gnome hat shaped triangle. It’s not a perfect triangle, just wider at the bottom. I made different sizes, with some being larger than others.
I put hot glue on the back side of the straight edge (bottom) and folded the front toward the back. (See 3rd image). Next, I added a dab of glue to the right (front) side and pinched the edges together. You can see the petal shape forming!

I glued four together at a time, connecting them on the pinched end, alternating fabrics / patterns. I glued four sets of four petals on the surface, then added more underneath. I just kept adding more petals until I was happy with the fullness of the flower.
I cut a piece of thrifted muslin fabric and stamped it with black ink and IOD Letterpress stamps. I also cut a piece of burlap to place behind the muslin, hot glued them together, then hot glued them to my surface.
Finally, I put just a little Rub ‘n Buff around the edge to give it just a little shimmer.
I think this turned out gorgeous, y’all! Click here for the link to the previous blog where we made fabric flowers!
