Gumball Holly Sprigs

I have been making these for the past few years. Don't know what gave me the idea. I had a whole lot of old bunches of artificial flowers that I had been saving thinking they will come handy for a craft.

Now... I remember. I was going through the photos of the Christmas cakes I have decorated in the past. Suddenly realized I could change ordinary leaves into holly easily using the same technique - trimming off the edges.

All I had to do was to seperate the leaves with the stalk; cut the edges so they look like holly.
Cut  squares (roughly 5 c.m) of cellophane ad twist a gum-ball in each.
Attach tree gum-balls to three leaves with a kitchen twistie. 

Wrap gum tape to cover the stem.

Placed a red candle in the plate for the last Christmas. Found a white star shaped one this time.
