Taking a minute to update poinsettia wreath and thank you for all your lovely comments also. I hung it on my wall temporarily to see if it would curl forward with the weight of the accessorizing. It did fine but thought I'd err on caution and went ahead and made a little dowel tube for the top and hand stitched it on. A wooden skewer fit good enough and yes, does add strength in case anyone is doing this project. Wasn't happy with the wire hanger nor the plastic one the teacher put on the back with big tabs the hanger shoulders were pushed thru. I like like tube better, works better for me and no show. I can still remove the skewer for flatness if I want to use it as a table centerpiece.
