	Year Round Christmas Preparation.com Dough Art Poinsettia   Dough Art Poinsettia Materials: Basic salt dough or my special flower dough Acrylic colors red, yellow, green General tools and supplies Two tiny black beads and 2 tiny blue beads Attachment accessory for a pin, ornament, magnetic, earrings, etc.  Ornament hanger or pin back accessory for desired use. Simple Instructions: Roll out a ball of red dough evenly if using the flower dough.  Make it as thin as you like.  If using salt dough, shape each petal with your fingers, using the patterns to shape.  You'll need 6 or 7 large petals and six of the smaller petals. With the flower dough, you'll need to cut out the petals using the patterns as a guide.  You can easily estimate the shape without physically using the patterns. Arrange the large petals first as show in the illustration.  Then fuse the smaller petals over the bottom set evenly, using very little water to moisten.  As an option, you can use the leaf patterns to shape or cut out the leaves. Use a straight pin to create the vein impressions.  Fuse the leaves wherever you wish. Dough Art Poinsettia Completion: Roll 3 or 4 tiny yellow balls and fuse to the center of the flower. If this is for an ornament poke a hole in the top center of the project with a toothpick about 1/4" from the top.  Let air dry if using the flower dough.  If using the flower dough, let air-dry or if in a hurry, bake at 325 degrees for 15 or 20 minutes.  I prefer to air-dry this project.  When hard, varnish.  Insert a ribbon or string for an ornament.  For a pin, use quick drying glue to connect the pin back to the backside of the dough art poinsettia.    Return To << Free Project Index   << Dough Art Introduction Learn more about Christmas Dough Art By You!  I  Dough Art Description I  General Instructions I Salt Dough Recipe  I General Supplies Needed (from your home)  I  Home Business Success Free Project Index Disclaimer I Disclosure I Privacy I Contact I About _________________________________________________________________________      Coming Soon: If you want to know more about Christmas fun, you've got to try my dough art texturing technique.  It's fun, easy and you can do it!  Even if you've never sculpted or crafted anything before.  Step by step you'll learn to make professional  looking collectibles, home decor, and ornaments that make great gifts.  See Preview.
