DIY Paper Mistletoe

🧺 You will need:

   •   Dark green paper (for leaves)

   •   Light green paper (optional, for extra leaves)

   •   Pencil

   •   Scissors

   •   Ribbon or string to hang it

✂️ Step 1: Draw the Leaves

1. On the green paper, draw long leaf shapes – like narrow ovals with pointy ends.

2. Draw about 10–15 leaves so your mistletoe looks full.

✂️ Step 2: Cut the Leaves

3. Carefully cut out all the leaves.

4. Gently fold each leaf in half (lengthwise) and open it again – this makes a little crease so it looks more real.

🍒 Step 3: Make the Berries

5. From red paper, cut small circles.

      •   If you have red buttons or pom-poms, you can use those instead.

6. You’ll need about 6–10 berries.

🌿 Step 4: Build the Mistletoe Branches

7. On the table, arrange 3–4 leaves together like a tiny bunch and glue them at the top.
