Poinsettia Present Pal

Just like Present Pals, but with a pretty twist!

Materials
Red glitter glue sticks
Gold beads
Clear sticks for purging
Double sided foam tape (optional)
Petal Pattern
Wax paper or plastic styrene blank
Green ribbon

1. Draw or trace the outline of a single petal in glue on a piece of waxed paper.
2. Fill in the pattern 8 times, 4 petals for each layer.
3. When the petals have hardened, use a small amount of glue on the bottom edges of 4 petals and attach to each other with each pointing in a different direction. (Like a compass.)
4. When the glue has hardened, apply a small amount of glue to bottom back of each of the 4 remaining petals (one at a time) and place on top of the already glued together 4 petal base. Be sure that each petal is pointing out in a different direction!
5. When completed, there should be a small gap in the very center where the bottom of each of the 4 petals on the top layer intersect. Place a dollop of glue in that center and gently press in gold beads. (Any size will work, just remember that the smaller the beads, the more you'll have to use.)
6. Attach ribbon to back of poinsettia with hot glue.
7. Use double sided foam tape or glue to attach to package and you're done!
