Cut the following number of petals

• Large Cuts – 3
• Small Cuts – 2

Step 1

For the poinsettia petals draw using your molding mat as if you were drawing veins on a leaf.

Then flip the whole thing over. You will be able to see the veins you drew better. Roll the center a little to make the petals stand up. 

Prep all of your petals the same way. 

Step 2

Begin layering the petals and alternating petals as you go.

Continue with the small petals. 

Step 3

Add in 3 small pearls to the center

Step 4

Make a bunch and deck the halls!
