Do you like to display live poinsettias in your home at Christmastime. I know there are some people who love them and some people who really don’t like them at all. The problem I have is keeping the poinsettia alive through the Christmas season (ha, ha)! So, today I have a tutorial to make poinsettia paper flowers! You don’t have to worry about watering these poinsettias or keeping them away from your heat vents. These flowers will last from year to year!
supplies for poinsettia paper flowers
Below is the printable music sheet with the flower petals already drawn on, so all you have to do is copy it to your desktop, print it on either ivory or white card stock and cut the petals out. You will need six petals for each flower.
Once cut out, use a small paint brush to apply glue to the edges of each petal and then sprinkle the glitter over the glue. Set aside until completely dry. Then, punch a hole near one end of each petal. Feed the petals onto the stamen stem. Once they are all on the stem, use a bit of hot glue to hold them in place. I bent the petals a bit to make them look a little more like the real thing. If you want a longer stem, attach a sturdy floral wire and wrap tightly with floral tape.
Love these, Doreen! I can't keep poinsettias alive either so this is a pretty option.
What a great and beautiful idea! Love this! 🙂
I love these! So pretty! I will have to try this for decorating the tree for next year!
I love this idea, Doreen. Simple and very pretty! I am so glad you didn't buy those flowers but decided to come up with this great idea to share with us all!

I like poinsettas but these are so pretty. Love them!
Those are gorgeous… love the glittered edge!
Love these, and so simple. The glittered edge is just the right touch. Found you at Ecclectically Vintage. Your home tour is gorgeous. Amy @ StowandTellU
These poinsettias are perfect. No watering required and they go with all colors.
Another AWESOME idea, Doreen! Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm making these this week.
Oh, how pretty your music poinsettias are and your tree is gorgeous by the way. Thank you for the instructions

What a great idea, this is fantastic!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Oh, I love these, Doreen! I love music page projects, and this may just be my new favorite!
I love poinsettias but can never keep them alive too these are adorable!!! I need to make these asap! Your tree is stunning too! You did a beautiful job!
My husband keeps cooking our poinsettias near the fireplace in our bedroom, and we lost another one to cold on the front porch. I should make some of these and stop killing plants! They're lovely.
These are so pretty! I love working with book pages and have been wanting to do something with sheet music. Thanks for the printable! ~Christy

Stunning!
I love these! I usually buy one poinsettia but hold my breath that it stays alive through Christmas. Great project…I've enjoyed this tour and was happy to share the day with you!
Absolutely lovely! I love vintage sheet music crafts! We do something similar for our tree – magnolias instead of poinsettias: http://www.rookno17.com/2010/12/holiday-ornament-diy-how-to-make-paper.html
Such a cute idea! Love all that your sharing at our Christmas Extravaganza Party! Pinned 🙂

Thank you for the great idea! We had an old hymnal that was my husband’s grandfathers that was ruined when our basement flooded. I was able to salvage some pages, glued them to card stock, and made poinsettias! Now we some beautiful heirlooms for our tree!
This just made my day!!! Thanks for sharing!
they’re so pretty!
Thanks, friend!!
Doreen! You did it again! Simply beautiful!
