Poinsettia Pattern Finished

Use the picture as a color guide.

Take 1 of the large base circles and glue 6 holly leaves around the edge of circle. Now glue your large petals on. Glue them slightly in from the holly leaves as shown in the diagram.

Now glue your medium sixed petals into place, coming further in and off set them to the last petals for a layered effect.

Use the dimensions paint to create a centre, fill with small dots and let dry.
