Holly and Mistletoe SVG

About this design

Holly and mistletoe hang together in this sprig. A curling stem drops from the top, and along it, spiky holly leaves mingle with softer, rounder mistletoe leaves, with clusters of small berries tucked between them. Some leaves show red in the layered version, adding warmth, and the whole sprig has a loose, natural, hand-gathered feel.

The design is two pieces with twenty-two cut-outs. The thin curling stem and the many small berries are what make it look natural, and they are also why it carries a “Print & web” label on its page. It is best printed, or cut from about 6.5 inches tall and larger.

Size and cutting tips

For printing, any size works. For cutting, start at about 6.5 inches tall; the curling stem and small berries are delicate, so use a fresh blade and smooth vinyl. Avoid felt and glitter materials.

Design notes

The sprig hangs from a curling stem, so it reads as something hung above a doorway. Place it at the top of a design with text below.

Variations to try
