Paper Selection
A set of pieces of the paper flowers can be cut from any color or patterned cardstock. The Christmas poinsettia isn’t really a flower, it is just different colored leaves so the other set needs to be green, but the shade of green is up to you. In a future lesson I will cut flowers from patterned paper. Your imagination is your only limit.
Cutting the Christmas Poinsettia
I tried cutting this flower from felt and it didn’t work well. I got it cut out but there was just too much “folding” for the felt flower to work right and it looked terrible. Maybe later in the week I will try it in denim. That should work well.
The parts of the paper flower can be cut on one mat.
