Cut out the template. Fold paper over 6.5 inches. Trace the template onto the paper, placing the top edge along the fold of the paper. Cut out. Unfold the piece and glue or staple the ribbon to one side of the inside. Continue with multiple colors and patterns, spacing them about 2 inches apart. |
 paper poinsettias
Materials and tools
Directions
We used 3 different sized flowers. Listed are the amount of petals needed for each size.
- large flower (6 large petals, 5 medium petals, 6 small petals, 1 center, 1 cardboard base)
- medium flower (6 medium petals, 6 small petals, 1 center, 1 cardboard base)
- small flower (10 small petals, 1 center, 1 cardboard base)
Cut out the template pieces. Trace on to colored paper and cut. Fold all petals in half to give texture and shape. Be sure to cut a small slit in the center base of each petal.
For the large flower - start with the circle cardboard base and the largest petals. Use hot glue to attach the petals around the base overlapping the slit base of the petal to add dimension to the flower. Once all the large petals are placed, hot glue the medium then small petals in the same fashion. Finally hot glue the center piece to cover up the base of the petals and give a finished look.
For the medium and small flowers - follow the same steps for the large flower only using the amount and number of petals listed above. |
 small paper bows
Materials and tools
Directions
Print the template on patterned or colored cardstock. Cut out pieces. Take the longer piece and put double sided tape in three spots on the wrong side- the two ends and the very middle. Bend the ends to the middle and attach in the center. Use the tape to attach the back piece. Place double sided tape on the small rectangle and wrap around the center of the bow creating a nice finish. We attached ours to a long ribbon using hot glue. This project is originally from the Ellinee blog! We love how you can use them on gifts as well! |
 paper rosette wall
Materials and tools
- colored paper (we used some of our holiday sheet wrap and waste not roll wrap)
- doilies
- scissors
- hot glue gun and glue
- large piece of cardboard
Directions
Take two rectangular pieces of the paper the same size and accordion fold them. Fold each of the accord ian folded pieces in half making a fan shape and glue two of the edges together. Then join the remaining edges of the two pieces together for a complete circle. Hot glue between some of the inner folds to keep it together even better.
Use various sizes of paper to create the different sizes. Layer with doilies and hot glue to a large piece of cardboard to hang on the wall. |
