1. Cut the felt. Position the freezer paper, shiny side down, over the patterns in the Pattern Pack. Trace the patterns the number of times indicated. Cut out the shapes on the traced lines.
2. Using an iron, press a freezer-paper shape, shiny side down, onto the front of the respective fabric; let cool. Cut out the shape along the pattern edges. Peel off the freezer paper.
3. Arrange the petals. Center the dark red petal section on one moss green circle. Place the bright red petal section on top and then turn the section clockwise so that all eight petal points are visible. Repeat with the light red section, turning the petals until there are 12 points visible.
4. Sew the beads to the center of the poinsettia assembly.
5. Sew the ornament. Stack and pin the ornament top on the back. Use a 1/4-inch seam allowance to sew around the circle, leaving a 3-inch opening for stuffing. Stuff with fiberfill and sew the opening closed.
6. Place a small dot of hot glue on the back of each light red petal tip and press the petals to the background. For a hanger, attach a drapery clip ring to the circle.
