Christmas Poinsettia Craft
This beautiful Christmas Poinsettia was such a favorite that we decided to showcase it again. Contest Winner, Maricel Fabi, is from Fairfax Virginia and has been making cards since 1996 for friends and family. Since then her interest has broadened to paper crafts, gift wrapping, children’s crafts and home decorating. She enjoys the challenge of coming up with new ideas and designs.
This beautiful Poinsettia is inexpensive to make and will be treasured for years to come.

Love poinsettias. I have just made 35 of this pattern in the white eyelet knitting lace, calling them snowflakes. Stiffened them & scribbled glitter glue coming from centre out to the peak & a silver pom pom in the centre. For my line dancing ladies for our Xmas break-up. Just have to tie chocs underneath somehow. My pattern was old so I’m glad I can refresh it with your pattern. I thought how lovely it would be in red for a poinsettia. Thankyou.
