12 Poinsettia Crafts for Christmas

Did you know that I have never seen a poinsettia plant before I came to the United States? That's right - it was not known in the former Soviet Union where we were more apt to decorate with red stars for New Year :) Now, however, we welcome poinsettia to our house during Christmas season - both real plants and crafts. I collected some of the best poinsettia crafts for kids and adutls to share in this roundup.

Another "process art" idea - make poinsettias using yarn, from 3 Dinosaurs.

This project from Craft Klatch does not require fancy materials and produces a beautiful toilet paper roll poinsettia.

Another great recycled art idea - a plastic bottle poinsettia ornament from Mama Miss
