POINSETTA MAGNET
Nice Gift. Need 1 to 1 1/2 inch styrofoam balls cut in half. Get Christmas green and red pipe cleaners that are puffy. Fold pipecleaners in half and push into the sides of the ball. Green at the back and red at the front . The red part of the plant are actually bracts, or modified leaves surrounding the real flowers, which are tiny, yellow and not very showy. Find floral decorations that are yellow with pink center. Use these as the flowers. Poke into the center of the ball. Glue a magnet on the back of the ball. (Photo is very old. Note the styrofoam does dissentigrate after a time.)
