Ribbon Poinsettia Ornament

Materials List:
  • 11/2 yds. of 11/2" wide wire-edge taffeta ribbon with gold metallic edge
  • 9" of 11/2" wide wire-edge gold ribbon
  • 4mm gold beads
  • Wire

Instructions:

1. To form inner petals, cut 3-6" lengths of wire-edge taffeta ribbon. Cut the ends of each length into a sharp point. Pinch the lengths at the center and wire the three lengths together. Shape petals into a circle.

2. To form the outer petals, cut 4-8" lengths of wire-edge taffeta ribbon. Cut the ends of each length into a sharp point. Pinch the lengths at the center and wire them onto the inner petals. Shape petals into a circle.

3. To form the leaf, cut the ends of the wire-edge gold ribbon into a sharp point. Pinch at the center and wire onto the back of the outer petals.

4. Place a dime-size puddle of glue in the center of the ribbon poinsettia. Sprinkle with gold beads and pat down to hold. Shake off excess beads.
