Does anyone know of a good poinsettia tutorial? Nothing too extreme since I'm new to flower making

There are not many out there. I combined a couple of them to do the ones I did. If you look in the "how to" up at the top Rylan posted a link that has hundreds of tutorials in it, that is where I found the ones I tried. They are not too hard, but have LOTS of parts....5 bracts of each size flower.....plus the centers. So for ONE flower, you are making about 30 pieces.

Here is the ones I did:

Edna does some amazing tutorials - check you tube she may have one posted there. Here is a picture of hers:

Hope that helps!

Edna doesn't have a tutorial on them, but she does have a DVD that she sells with how to do them. (it wasn't out when I made mine, or I would have bought it!)

here is a good tutorial. I saw others when i typed on my home page. How to make a gumpaste poinsettia. hth

That's a good one!

Fran's is one of the ones I used. I think the other one was from Diane Shavkin (the way Nicholas Lodge does them?) I combined the parts of them both that I liked to do the ones I made.
