Make your own mistletoe

How to make felt mistletoe - by Kacey Kendrick Wagner
  • 05 Dec 2018
Make your own mistletoe

How much would we love to have a house packed full of beautiful evergreen come Christmas time? We'd have halls decked with holly and ivy - and a bunch of mistletoe in the doorway of course. But for now we're happy to settle for this felt version - it won't wilt on us, and can be reused year after year. Pucker up!

Materials:

Purchase everything you need at bhgshop.com.au

  • Sheet of green felt
  • Permanent marker
    or fabric pencil
  • Pearl embellishments
  • Hot glue or fabric glue
  • Ribbon of your choice
  • Iron-on fabric stabiliser (optional)

 

 

Step 1 - If you’d like your felt to be more structured, you can use iron-on fabric stabiliser on the wrong side of the felt. This will stiffen the fabric and prevent the finished decoration

Step 2 - Trace the mistletoe templates, left, onto a sheet of paper or cardstock at your preferred size. Go to bhgshop.com.au for the project sheet and materials.

Step 3 - Cut out and trace around onto your felt using a marker or pencil. Trace the small one twice, flipping it over so the leaves face opposite directions. Feel free to trace more sprigs if you want.

Step 4 - Cut out the felt shapes and arrange the sprigs to your liking.  Glue the stems and leaves together where they overlap.

Step 5 - Now arrange the pearl embellishments to resemble clusters of berries. Glue in place.

Step 6 - Finally, tie a ribbon bow around the stems. Cut an additional 20cm (8") length of ribbon and loop it to create a hanger. Glue it to the back. Now find a door or entry way to hang it, and let the seasonal smooching commence.
