Paper Selection
Paper poinsettias are very traditional around Christmas. For these flowers I used crepe paper, cardstock and foiled cardstock. There really are not limits. You can even use patterns if you want.
Cutting the Paper Poinsettias
I haven’t tried this flower in fabric and don’t know how well it would work.
To cut from crepe paper you need the rotary blade too, so the maker will work but not an expression machine. The fine point blade cuts on the Air it but it tears very easily. On the maker do not use a new mat. Use an old one that has lost a little of its sticky or a light grip mat. The rotary blade cut much much better than I thought it would. It even managed to cot small holes on another flower.
