A Few Helpful Tips
- I prefer using a sturdy 18-inch square cotton napkin for this fold. A thinner napkin will create a poinsettia with softer, more relaxed edges, which is also very pretty.
- Iron the napkin first if you can. Crisp fabric makes the folds easier and helps the finished design hold its shape.
- I used a red napkin, but this fold works beautifully in other colors as well. A plaid fabric would be a festive choice for the holidays.
- Once finished, carefully transfer the poinsettia onto a plate, or create the fold directly on the plate to avoid moving it at all.
