Download the Free Poinsettia Template Printable here and print the poinsettia petal pattern. Trace 12 petals per flower onto White Paper Streamer and cut them out. We created a total of three flowers for our wreath, so you will need 36 petals in all. Once you have cut all the petals, paint each one with dark blue paint, careful not to tear the streamer. Apply two coats of paint for a fully opaque look.
Once the paint has dried, cut blue chenille stems into thirds using wire cutters. Apply a line of hot glue down the center of one petal and add one chenille stem. Now sandwich another petal on top and adhere the two pieces together using hot glue. Trim any white edge portions with scissors that may be visible in the overlap.
Next, fully cover the surface of a DIY Small Foam Ball (one per flower) with a layer of Mod Podge® Matte Acrylic Sealer. In a small bowl, mix together the copper and chocolate colors of glitter from the American Crafts™ Moxy Candy Shop Tinsel & Glitter set and then sprinkle over the foam ball. Repeat as necessary to ensure the white doesn't peek through. Tip: poke a bamboo skewer into the center of your ball to easily hold it while apply the glitter.
Now, dip a paintbrush into Mod Podge® Matte Acrylic Sealer and apply it to the outer edges of your petals. Sprinkle the glitter mix onto each and tap off the excess.
Once the Mod Podge® Matte Acrylic Sealer and glitter combo has set, begin attaching the petals together with hot glue, two at a time overlapping them on the flat edge. Next, form an "x" with two of the glued petals, securing them together with a dab of hot glue. Lay the final grouping of petals in the center of the "x" and glue together.
Next, wrap a Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Garland around an unlit Vickerman 24" Oregon Fir Christmas Wreath.
Cut three long lengths of Navy Single Faced Satin Ribbon and knot them around the top of the wreath. Trim the ribbon at varying lengths for a layered look.
Now adhere each of your paper streamer poinsettias to the top of the wreath, beginning with one in the center and one on each side, using hot glue.
Finally, display your Navy & Copper Poinsettia Wreath over your mantel for everyone to admire! Be sure to check out the full Navy & Copper Christmas Decorating Ideas and the details to create your own DIY Navy & Copper Stocking Holders!
