Product Information

Pull one length of wire out of the bundle, and continue twisting the rest of the wires together (again, one or two good twists). Pull out a second strand of wire, and continue twisting the rest. Follow this pattern until you are left with just two wire branches in the center stem.

Step 1: Start by preparing your felt. Apply some fabric stiffener to your sheet of white felt. While it's drying, draw four or five different mistletoe shapes on to some card and cut them out. These don't need to be perfect, simply draw them freehand. You can look online for inspiration for what type of shape to draw. Or if you prefer you could print off an image of a mistletoe and use it as a template. Mistletoe is such a classic Christmas decoration--even if you don't follow the tradition of kissing under it. Mistletoe's green leaves and white berries are absolutely beautiful. But real mistletoe can be hard to find. This felt mistletoe ornament can be used year after year, though.

It's favourable to have a garland that colour co-ordinates with your other Christmas decorations and theme.I don’t need an excuse to kiss my (not-so) baby girl, but a mistletoe hairclipadds a bit of fun to her holiday outfits. Whether you make a hairclip or ornament, here’s how to sew felt mistletoe:

Cut three (or more, if you want a fuller look) lengths of the floral wire, each approximately 12" long. The easiest way is to trace the pattern pieces onto Reynolds Freezer Paper, iron onto the felt and then cut out. The freezer paper peels off easily and can be re-used. Add white berries to your felt mistletoe. I used needle felted felt balls, but you could easily use white craft pom poms, too. This mistletoe ornament is an easy DIY Christmas ornament to make. Hang this felt mistletoe on your Christmas tree or in a doorway--it's a classic Christmas decoration no matter where it's placed.

Taking time to decorate your home for the holidays is one of the joys of the season. Every crafter who is planning making their own Christmas decorations will need to decide what type of DIY Christmas garland they would like as part of their decoration planning. Cut a 12-inch piece of thin velvet ribbon and glue the ends together to create a loop. This will be how you hang your mistletoe. I cut out about 4 pieces of felt worth of mistletoe boughs because I wanted my bundle really full. Step Two: Assemble Your Mistletoe

Continue gluing on mistletoe pieces until you like the finished look. Then glue on your berries, trying to evenly disperse them. Then cut small circles from cream felt for your berries. I used the drawing tools to create a .4-inch wide circle and cut about 25 out of cream felt. Create more small branches on each wire branch by folding the wire over itself and twisting small sections. (See the video for more detail on how to do this.)

Then, cut them out, aiming to cut away any of the pencil marks. Though don't worry too much about this as a from a distance any pencil lines won't be visible. This pretty garland is made from fabric but doesn't require sewing – making it perfect for beginner crafters who don't have a sewing machine. What is a Christmas garland? Now begin to glue your mistletoe leaves onto the the base of the ribbon. Start with the bigger boughs and wrap the pieces around the ribbon base so it looks even on all sides. Highlight all of the mistletoe pieces and open the Offset panel located on the right-hand side toolbar. Select Offset and set the distance to .09 inches. This will create a slightly larger outline to the mistletoe, and doing that will make your felt pieces more stable when you cut them. When I tried to cut the pieces as is without adding the offset, the felt would just tear through as I removed it from the mat because it was too thin in certain areas.
