DIY {felt} Poinsettia Pin

18 Dec posted by TidyMom

These Poinsettia Pins are as fun to wear as they are to make.

I have to admit, I’ve been slacking in the kitchen a bit this holiday season. But I did put on my elf hat and have come up with another simple craft. Recently I shared the waterless snow globes, and this week I’m excited to share these adorable Felt Poinsettia Pins I made!

They are very easy to make and don’t take much time. I made pins to wear on a sweater, but they would also be cute pinned on to a stocking or pillow, used as a gift topper, fridge magnet, or even a tree ornament.

You can make them any size using felt yardage, or simply using the felt sheets you can get at the craft stores, like I did.

*Please note that ALL of my measurement are approximate, there’s no need to be very specific, and you can make them any size you wish.

I’m Lovin’ It – {Homemade} Gifts in a Jar

Homemade gifts in a jar are a fun, frugal, and great holiday gift to share with just about any one. In past years I have made homemade Christmas gifts in a jar for girl friends, neighbors, teachers and family.

The possibilities are endless, and remember they are a great starter to build a gift basket. For example, start with a jar of cookie mix, and add a kitchen towel, pot holder, and spatula, or homemade vanilla along with a batch of homemade cookies along with the recipe. Or just add a pretty ribbon and tag and you have a simple, stylish gift!
