How to Make a Christmas Poinsettia Barrette

If your little girl has a play, dance or Christmas party to go to during the holiday season, you can make her a poinsettia floral barrette to wear in her hair for the event. She will want to wear it for more than one occasion.
You can make more than one with the many colored silk blossoms available at craft or department stores.

Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Pre-made bow to hide barrette
• Plain flat barrette in size of your choice
• Small silk poinsettias

   Glue the leaves in the center of the bow.

4. 

   Glue one or three small poinsettias to the bow.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a small barrette and one blossom for a tiny child.

• Keep all materials on top of the barrette to prevent anything from poking the child's head.
