![]() I was completely open to it this year though! Last year she reached out to me to ask if I was interested in running a paper flower workshop but because I was expecting a baby anytime in December, I declined. Every year, my mentor and articling principal, Inga, would treat her firm staff with something festive. Last week I taught an online live workshop on Zoom for an office Christmas party.

Trim the excess wire/thread, or leave the ends long so you can use them to attach the poinsettia to something. Note: You may also glue between the other pairs of leaves in the same way, but it’s not necessary. Step 15. Press the pairs of leaves together and hold in place until the glue has dried. Apply a small dab of glue to one leaf, close to the wire/thread. Look at the gap from the side so you can see the wire/thread between two of the leaves. ![]() You’ll find they leave a gap on each side, where the wire/thread falls. Repeat Step 12 for the remaining 5 leaves, until they all stay open. Bring the tip of the leaf towards the centre so the leaf opens out into a diamond shape, and re-crease the leaf along the existing fold line at each side of the diamond. Choose a leaf to open out and fold the other leaves down out of the way. Twist/knot the ends together at the bottom. Step 11. Cross the ends below the pieces, then bring each end up over the bundle of pieces and back down to the bottom. ![]() Step 10. Place the wire/thread around the middle of the leaf pieces, with the bead/button centre at the top. Step 9. Hold the three leaf pieces together, with the wider edge of each at the bottom and the open ends at the top. Slide your bead(s) or button to the centre of the wire/thread and twist/knot them in place. Step 8. Cut a 12″/30cm length of craft wire, or sewing thread. Step 7. Repeat Steps 1-6 twice more, to make a total of three leaf pieces. Note: Your first leaf piece is now complete. Fold it in half from top to bottom, crease and unfold. Fold it in half from side to side, crease and unfold. Place a square of origami paper with the coloured side facing down. Note: As with all origami, this works best if you strongly crease each fold by running your thumbnail along each fold before moving on to the next step. If you don’t have origami paper, cut squares from gift wrapping paper or other thin coloured paper.The diameter of the finished poinsettia will be the same as the width of the starting squares. ![]() Yellow button or bead(s) to make the centre of the poinsettia.12″/30cm thin craft wire (or sewing thread).3 squares of red origami paper (3″/7.5cm across or as large as you wish)*.Please do not share or reproduce this tutorial instead post a link to You will need: The complete instructions are available below, regardless of whether or not you choose to pay for them □ Just add the amount you wish to donate, and, once you have checked out and paid, your PDF will instantly be available to download from your PlanetJune account.
