Respect the Roll
First I placed the roll cover on the toilet (obvious spot… I know)… then, I thought maybe I could see if I could incorporate the other parts of the home…. maybe….

50 DIY Days with Rocky Mountain Mama: Yarn Poinsettia Wreath
5. Make a template for your poinsettia flower petals. I had old file folders sitting around from this project, so I used those to draw my petals.
Remember that you are going to want many different sizes of poinsettias. And each poinsettia needs two different size petals. I ended up making 5 different size petals.
8. Put together your petals.
There are a couple different ways you can put your poinsettias together. One way requires a needle and craft thread. If you are not saavy with a needle and thread, skip ahead. The other option is to use a hot glue gun.
Glue Gun Option {must easier}:
1. Take one {smaller} petal and put a tiny drop of hot glue near the flat end.
2. Pinch the corners together and hold until glue is set. Repeat for remaining petals.
3. Arrange larger petals in star shape and hot glue corners together.
Tip: You can also cut out a small circle and attach it to the back of your large petals for added support.
4. Arrange smaller petals on top of your “star” and glue into place.
5. Add 3 silver stickers/beads in the center of your poinsettia.
6. Cut leaves out of green felt and arrange on the back of your flower.
Needle & Thread Option:
1. Using a needle and craft thread, sew the petals together.
2. Push all petals together and knot the thread.
3. Attach the first and last petals together using one more stitch, then knot the thread.
Do this with both sizes of petals.4. Attach smaller petals to larger petals using a dab of hot glue.
5. Add 3 silver balls in the center of your poinsettia.
6. Cut out leaves and arrange them on the back of your flower.
