A Case in Poinsettia
Poinsettias are steeped in tradition surrounding the holiday season. Channel some holiday cheer with our paper poinsettia plant project — just as gorgeous as the real plant and much longer lasting!
In creating this project, we used Paper Papers text weight metallic paper. Unique in its thinner make-up than most other cardstocks and with its gorgeous shimmering quality, this paper is a crafter’s dream come true! For these poinsettias we used paper in Fairway, Lime Satin, Mars, Red Satin, Juniper, and Pure Gold. They have such an incredible selection of other colors as well… be sure to browse their selection further for even more paper crafting inspiration.
To make some of your own paper poinsettias, download the templates from PaperPapers.com and then craft along with our step-by-step photo tutorial below. If using a cutting machine, download the SVG files or if cutting by hand, download the PDF version. These paper poinsettia flowers are incredibly easy to assemble and will take you no time at all!

Another beautiful project to add to my wish list. What did you use/buy for the greenery? Thanks so much.
This project was posted many years ago, so I do not remember the exact conifer that I purchased. I did some research with my friend Google 😉 and think that this is a type of long pine. I am guessing I purchased it at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods in their floral area. You might also check with your local florist.
Very nice! First try and I’m struggling with gluing the pieces to the wire (I didn’t have wire and was trying it on a skewer – are you suppose to fold down the slits at the bottom of the petals or wrap around the wire, the photo is not real clear so just looking for some thoughts for what would make it easier – lots of petals to try and put on a tiny wire? Your ideas are wonderful.
Thanks Debbie! You’ll want to cross over the base of the flower (where the slits are) and glue, so it creates a slight cup shape at the bottom. Then glue that part to the base of the gold center. The slits may overlap a bit but they’ll be covered by the next layer of petals (and the leaves at the bottom). I hope that helps!

Those are so pretty! At first glance, I couldn’t believe that they were made of paper! 🙂 Lisa
Thank you Lisa!
Hi. Do you have an SVG for this poinsettia I cant seem to find it. I would like to cut it out with my Cricut. Thanks. Twila.
Yes, there’s a link at the bottom of the post that takes you to Paper Paper’s site where you can download the SVG. They’re hosting the files for this sponsored project 🙂 https://www.paperpapers.com/news/paper-poinsettia-plant/
I guess I am just not finding it. When I go to that link scroll down to the SVG link click on it it gives me a template to cut out manually I wanted to use it with my Cricut.
Thanks

When you click the button that says “SVG Download”, it will download a zipped folder to your computer. You just need to unzip that to extract the SVG file 🙂
