DIY~Stunning Poinsettias From Vinyl Glittered Placemats! SIMPLE!


Make these beautiful poinsettias out of glittered Christmas placemats for a multitude of projects! I got such a deal at Hobby Lobby with most of their Christmas stuff on sale for 66% off. I only ended up paying $1.36 for each 12X17 inch placemat! If you can't find the placemats, you can also go into the felt section and there will be glittered vinyl in rectangular sheets, about the same size as the felt. They are generally a couple of dollars each. I also listed links below where you can click on either the large poinsettia pattern (as shown above) OR the small poinsettia pattern. It's YOUR choice! Enjoy this project and have a wonderful Christmas! Also, be sure to click on the following link to see my YouTube tutorial on how to put these poinsettias together:
