Deck up your home with this fun and festive Holly Garland Papercraft that’s perfect for this season! Let this year be one of DIY holiday decor!

When it comes to Christmas icons around the world, there are quite a few! In fact, if you were to consider just the flora associated with Christmas, we’d have quite a big list!

Of course, there’s the Christmas tree, but another classic icon of Christmas greenery is holly. Holly is a hardy plant that survives winters, and since Christmas occurs in winter in many countries, holly naturally became a part of Christmas decor. Maybe the  bright red and green against white snow was deemed to be the perfect festive canvas!

Even today, holly is an irreplaceable part of Christmas decor everywhere, and just one holly leaf and a few berries can instantly give a space a festive look. If you can’t find holly plants in your area, don’t worry – we’ve got a fun and festive holly garland papercraft for you today, which is super easy to make, with impressive results!
