Christmas Home Decor project featuring Poinsettia Petals

Just a quick wee post to let you see my latest Christmas home decor project.

I bought a paper mache cone from my local craft superstore to make this project. i cut strips of green designer series paper and glued them to cover the cone. I cut lots of poinsettia layers with the poinsettia dies using all the different red papers and card stock. I then layered up the flowers and arranged them on the cone. i added pearls and sprigs from the forever laser cut paper and topped with a gold star made with two stitched stars die cuts and the gold foil sheet.
