There must be some kind of mad mistletoe shortage in these parts, which is weird because mistletoe is native to NC and it grows everywhere along the coast, but regardless, I have not been able to find a single sprig of it around here this year. And being a DIY kinda gal, I decided that surely I should be able to make some. Most of the time the stuff found in stores more closely resembles a sprig of eucalipitis with some glued-on white plastic berries. This is my result.

I used the Cricut "Joys of the Season" cartridge and cut out five leaf boarde r( )shapes at 1.5 inches in width, using two different shades of plain green cardstock. I then used a standard hole punch to punch out the round white berries. After gluing the berries to the leafy paper stems with a glue stick, I gathered the stems at one end and tied them with some silver glitter ribbon that I had left over from my wreath. And tada! Instant Mistletoe!
