1. Draw a poinsettia leaf and cut it out. Trace the leaf on the green and red paper. 6 green leaves and 7 red leaves will be enough.
2. Cut a 1-2" circle out of green scrap paper. This will just serve as a place to start the gluing process.
3. Glue the red petals onto the green petals so that they overlap slightly and go the whole way around it.
4. Once all the red petals are on, flip the craft over. Glue the green leaves on so that they stick out in between the red petals.
5. Flip the craft back over. Crumple some yellow construction paper or tissue paper into little balls. Glue these balls on the center of the flower.
