Poinsettia Christmas Tree for Wild Orchid Crafts

Hello, everyone and happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! It's my turn to post on the Wild Orchid Crafts Blog and I'd love for you to stop by if you have time :) Today, I'm sharing a Christmas project with you featuring products found in the Wild Orchid Crafts store.

I picked up a paper mache cone from Hobby Lobby for the base of the tree. I painted it white and then covered it with cheesecloth. Next, I covered it with poinsettias created with Ivory Flower Making Foam.

I love making these flowers!! I decided to leave the natural Ivory color and just ink the bottom layer with Peeled Paint Distress Ink for the leaves. I used a combination of White Double Head Pearl Stamens and Small White Double Head Pearl Stamens.

And here it is all it up :)

Wild Orchid Crafts Products Used:

Ivory Flower Making Foam ~ MKX-719

Small White Double Head Pearl Stamens ~ MKX-212

White Double Head Pearl Stamens ~ MKX-568

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Have a great day :)
