Make an Easy Mistletoe Ball

As a child, I had a friend whose family would go up into the mountains and gather fresh mistletoe to sell in little bags to raise money for Christmas shopping. If only I could have the fresh stuff every year!

My mom had a mistletoe or “kissing ball,” as they’re sometimes called, hung in our entryway every Christmas, and so I feel like mistletoe is a must have for holiday decor. Yet I’ve had a tough time finding a mistletoe ball I like — classic and simple like my mom’s. So I did what I always do when I can’t find what I want, I designed this free printable 3-D mistletoe ball.

I’ve always been fond of mistletoe. As a child, I had a friend whose family would go up into the mountains and gather fresh mistletoe to sell in little bags to raise money for Christmas shopping. If only I could have the fresh stuff every year!

Since I think Mistletoe is a must have for holiday decor, I’ve created a free printable mistletoe template to make this cute, paper mistletoe ball. It’s so easy to put together. The hardest part is cutting out the pieces. I highly recommend using good detail scissors. These are definitely not your kid scissors because they have a nice, sharp point that makes it so much easier to get into tight spaces.

There are two parts to the template, because we’re making a more three-dimensional ball shape, not just flat paper. I recommend you print the solid green page included in the free download file on the reverse side of the template.

You’ll see that there are white, cutting guidelines on Front A and Front B. The one on A goes from top to middle, and B goes from middle to bottom. This will allow the two pieces to fit together in a sort of X shape that will give the mistletoe ball depth.

Punch holes for hanging, using a tiny hole punch or craft knife only on the Part A. Thread through twine, string or ribbon and fit it through the split in the stems on Part B.

Use the string to hang as desired… you could even add a bow. I hung mine above the window seat in my new kitchen, and I think it looks darling.
