Instructions for petals and leaves:
(Make 3 Red and 3 Green)
Chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
Round 1: In the center of the ring, work 6 dc, 4 sc, 1 tr, 4 sc. Join with a slip stitch to close leaf and fasten off.
Join with a slip stitch to close leaf and fasten off. Weave in all ends.
Instructions for poinsettia center:
(Make 3 Yellow)
Ch 3 and work 6 sc in ch furthest from hook. Join to close with a sl st. Weave in any ends.
Finishing & Assembly:
Cut the felt into a 2 inch circle. Using a hot glue gun, place the leaves down first (I positioned mine in a triangle shape) along the edge of the felt. Next, add a layer of 6 red petals, overlapping them slightly in a circular fan shape. Do not over glue, as it will flatten the flower. Try to just glue the bottom edges of petals/leaves to the felt and stick them on. Finish by adding 3 yellow dots to the center of the flower, overlapping them as shown in the photos. If you wish to make yours into a pin, glue pin backing to back of flower. Let dry/cool completely before using.
