Our latest video will show you how to make a 6 ft Deco Mesh Poinsettia! Great for anyone looking to decorate with something just a little different than a wreath this Christmas.
This cute poinsettia would look great on your door, or use multiple to decorate a large room that needs a little flair for your christmas party. This tutorial is for any skill level crafter familiar with deco mesh or not! This project can be done by yourself but is easier when you have someone to help you out. (Kids can help too!)
Supplies:
- 21'' Wide Foil Red Deco Mesh - 10 Yards - We used the whole roll.
- 21'' Wide Foil Green Deco Mesh - 10 Yards - We used a little over 4 Yards.
- Metallic Red Tinsel Roping - 25 Feet - We used 3 Feet.
- Gold Tinsel Tie Balls - Set of 12 - We used 3.
You'll also need:
Scissors, Wire Cutters, a Ruler, and a helper (optional, but recommended!)For our experienced designer this flower only took 15 minutes but if you're a beginner it may take more. This whole project will only cost you around $35 for one six-foot tall poinsettia, and you could make two for around $47. With every flower you make you will need a whole roll of red deco mesh, but you will get at least two flowers out of every green deco mesh roll. You will have enough of the tinsel tie balls to make up to 4 large poinsettias, and enough tinsel roping for 8! If you're looking to make a smaller sized version of this, you can also use the 10'' mesh instead of the 21'', and just use smaller proportions. (12-15'' for the flower petals instead of 24'')
