Instructions:
1. Set iron to cotton heat setting. Lay the poinsettia stamp rubber side up on your work surface, and lay the velvet right side down on the stamp. Mist with water. Then put a piece of fusible web on the wrong side of the fabric. Use the area of the iron without steam holes to press over the fusible web for 10 to 20 seconds. This will emboss the image of the Poinsettia onto your velvet. The webbing will permanently bond to the velvet, making it more stable and also preventing it from fraying.
2. Emboss about 28 poinsettias on the velvet. Cut out all the poinsettias leaving a small edge of the unembossed velvet as the border for each piece.
3. Run 3 beads on each piece of floral wire. Center the beads in the wire and twist the wire to hold them in place.
4. Layer 2 Poinsettias and run the two ends of the floral wire through the center of them. Use the ends of the wire to attach the Poinsettias to the wreath by wrapping them around it and twisting them together.
5. Use the 2 yards of 4" velvet ribbon to make a bow. Attach to the bottom of the wreath with floral wire.
