Bring a smile of seasonal cheer to the faces of your friends by giving them Poinsettia brooches. This also makes a wonderful little Christmas gift for teachers, hairdressers, etc.

What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. Cut a 2 inch round circle out of poster board.
2. Apply glue on the outside edge (about a 1/2 inch wide) of circle and start gluing pumpkin seeds around edges. Let the seeds 1/2 hang over the edge and have the pointed side of the pumpkin seed out.
3. Apply more glue and overlap pumpkin seeds over the 1st row.
4. Repeat step 3 two more times. This will leave a small circle in the middle of the poster board. Let dry for 20 minutes.
5. Paint pumpkin seeds red and let dry.
6. Glue navy beans in the center.
7. Spray with urethane, if desired.
8. Glue a saftey pin on back.

Tips:

Leave the shell on the pumpkin seeds. I bought roasted shells from a bulk food store.
