Felt Red Poinsettia

One of the most iconic symbols of the season is undoubtedly the poinsettia. With its vibrant red bracts and lush green leaves, she is the enduring star of the season. This month, we're excited to introduce our Felt Red Poinsettia, a bold addition to our felt floral collection. If you've enjoyed crafting with our other poinsettia projects, like this pretty pink version, you'll love this fresh new take!

Though she's quite impressive, this Felt Red Poinsettia is actually very beginner-friendly. For this project, the most useful tools in your craft box include a good pair of scissors, hot glue gun, and floral wire. It's amazing how easily these lovely flowers come together with just a little patience and creativity!
Originating from Mexico, poinsettias, or "Nochebuena" (Christmas Eve), have become synonymous with holiday cheer around the world. The vibrant red represents the blood of Christ, while the star-shaped leaves symbolize the Star of Bethlehem. Interestingly, there are over 100 varieties of poinsettias, each with its unique color and shape. For this project, we've opted for a classic red to tie into our theme of a traditional holiday. However, I think these would pop in a bright white or rosy pink as well.
Because each bract of your Felt Red Poinsettia is individually wired, it allows you to shape and style the overall look of your flower to suit your decor preferences. And to be honest, you really can't go wrong with a flower this beautiful. Plus, since real poinsettias are highly toxic to pets, our felt version allows you to enjoy their beauty without worry!
Once your stunning Felt Red Poinsettias are complete, we suggest arranging three stems in a charming pot for a lovely display or creating a festive garland with some additional greenery. Remember to share your finished project on Instagram using the hashtag #MadeWithLia and connect with our crafters' community to inspire others with your beautiful creations.

I just made these poinsettias, and they turned our beautifully. I love that they are a larger flower. The one’s I made turned out to be 7″ across. Can’t wait to make them in a vibrant pink!
Oh yes! That will be gorgeous!
