Gather all supplies. Remove the metal spring from the wooden clothespins. Line up five clothespins in a V shape on your work surface, and five in a straight line to create a poinsettia shape. Attach the wooden clothespin pieces together with a glue gun and glue sticks, using the photo as a template.
Paint the front and all sides of the clothespin flower with primary red acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.
Place circle template onto bright red craft felt and trace the outline of the 2 ¼” circle with a marker. Carefully cut out a circle from felt, cutting inside the traced lines for a clean, finished project. Glue felt to the back of the poinsettia ornament.
Cut a leaf shape out of olive green and dark green craft felt with scissors. Place a ½” line of glue at the base of each leaf and fold in half to create dimension.
Attach a variety of gold tinsel pom poms into the center of each clothespin poinsettia with a glue gun and glue sticks.
To finish the Clothespin Christmas Poinsettia ornament, cut a 12” length of natural jute twine, tie it in a loop with a knot, and attach it to the top of the back with a glue gun and gluesticks. Secure the leaves to the back of the flower, at an angle.
