Who teaches the class?
Olga designed the class and guides every step. She has a degree in fashion and clothing design and has worked with fabric for over thirty years. On camera you watch Tereza, her daughter-in-law, make her very first one, so you see exactly what a beginner needs. Every lesson is in English, with captions.
What’s included in the fabric poinsettia class?
The Maker is an online video class for beginners on making a satin fabric poinsettia for Christmas. You get 8 close-up video lessons with captions, Olga’s pressed-wire method, printable petal and leaf templates, a US Supply List and a Fix-It Guide. No sewing machine needed.
Is it a one-time payment? How long can I watch the lessons?
Yes, you pay once, with no subscription, and you keep lifetime access. You get instant access in the Tereza Blooms classroom at class.terezablooms.com, on your phone, tablet or computer, and you can rewatch every lesson as often as you like.
Where do I buy the supplies, and what will they cost?
Walmart, Michaels, Hobby Lobby or Amazon. The US Supply List tells you what to look for and which store carries it.
Your first shopping trip is up to about $50, depending on what you already have at home, and it makes your first flower. Most packs last for many more, so each flower after that uses about $4.50 in supplies. If you don’t own them yet, fabric scissors, wire cutters and a mini glue gun add about $15. You’ll also need a household iron.
Rather order online? The class links one Amazon cart with the main supplies, about $64 (tools about $21 more), before tax.
Do I get the petal sizes, or do I have to guess?
You get printable petal and leaf templates on US Letter. Print at 100%, trace, pin the layers and cut. One bloom takes about 18 petals and 5 leaves.
Which fabric and wire do I buy? Can I use what I have?
Glossy 100% polyester satin in red, green taffeta or polyester satin for the leaves, and a lightweight double-sided fusible web that bonds the two layers of every petal. It has to be polyester: the cut edge melts and seals near a candle flame, so it won’t fray. Silk and cotton burn instead. For wire, 20 gauge floral stem wire for the petals and a few thicker 16 gauge wires for the stem.
Do I need a sewing machine or a glue gun?
No sewing machine. You need a household iron and a small glue gun, which is only for wrapping the stem. No hot glue touches the petals: a fusible web and the iron hold the petal layers together.
Is the candle step safe?
You move each cut edge near a candle flame, never in it, and keep it moving, as the lesson shows. Satin is synthetic: the heat melts the edge, which is what seals it, and it can catch fire if it touches the flame. The lesson’s safety note covers the rest: a clear table, long hair tied back, a glass of water nearby, and a practice run on a scrap.
Will it stay $15?
No. It’s brand new for Christmas 2026, so it’s half price, $15, through December 13, 2026. From December 14 it’s $30.
How long does the first one take?
Plan on a relaxed weekend for your first one. 18 petals and 5 leaves to cut, wire, press and seal. The next ones go faster.
What if mine doesn’t look like the photo?
Every step is filmed close-up from above, so you can pause and compare your work with the video. The poinsettias in our photos were made by Tereza while she was learning. And if you film every step with the listed supplies and yours still doesn’t look like ours, the Lifetime Looks-Like-Ours Guarantee gets you every penny back. To claim it, you send us a video of every step, your supplies and photos of your finished poinsettia. How it works
