How to make a 3D poinsettia - instructions

  1. First cut out two squares of the same size from the paper. These should measure 20x20 cm.
  2. Now take the first square and place it in front of you. Now the upper left corner is folded onto the lower right corner and then unfolded again. Repeat this process for the upper right and lower left corners, so that two diagonal creases are created. Pay attention to the Handcraft make sure that the kinks are made evenly.
  3. For the next step, turn the sheet over and fold the top edge onto the bottom. Then unfold the whole thing again and then fold the right edge onto the left. This fold should also be unfolded again.
  4. Use the scissors to cut the horizontal and vertical lines that have just been created approx. 5 cm a.
  5. Now turn the sheet again and fold the edges created by the incisions onto the respective diagonal lines, so that a 4-pointed star is created.

  6. Now place the two triangular halves of each prong on top of each other and fix them with the adhesive.
  7. Now repeat steps 2-6 with the second square piece of paper.
  8. In the last step, you can now glue both halves of the star on top of each other - a 3D poinsettia is ready.

Ornaments for the 3D poinsettia - ideas

  • A nice option are some stickers with Christmas motifs that you can stick on the star after you have finished making your handicrafts.
  • Another option would be embellishments made with glue and glitter.
  • It would also be feasible to work with a motif punch after the first 3 steps of the above instructions, namely in the places that will later be visible on the outside.

Folding 3D poinsettias is not particularly difficult. With a little practice, one is ready after a few minutes. Give it a try.
