Collect kisses this holiday with a surprisingly stylish felt mistletoe headband. Our mistletoe headband has a decidedly vintage feel played out in a spunky modern color palate. This is a fun and chic project requires no sewing making it an easy Christmas Craft you can whip up in minutes.
The mistletoe leaves get some depth from wool blend felt put through a washer and dried, this causes the wool fibers to shrink and gives the felt some bulk and dimension. This will not work for acrylic felt and 100% wool will get much thicker and smaller than wool blend.
You will need:
1/8 yard wool blend felt in bright green I used Key Lime Pie
1″ x 21″ Red felt I used Lipstick
Fabric covered headband I like bright pink.
6 white pom poms or felt balls you can use any size but I like them around 10mm.
Hot Glue gun and glue

Before you begin
Wash green felt on normal setting you can just toss it in with your normal laundry the felt will shrink while becoming thicker and fuzzier.
Cut mistletoe shapes from green felt and cut red felt into a 1″ x 16″ ribbon.
Glue some of the mistletoe shapes in half so the leaves curve this will keep the mistletoe leaves from laying completely flat.
Lay one of the long flat mistletoe shapes down just about an inch from the center and hot glue down. Lay curved leaf down and glue. Place remaining mistletoe down as desired moving down the headband so the leaves all meet at the base. Hot glue felt mistletoe into place.
Create Felt Bow
Trim 1″ felt ribbon to 18″, Cut 3″ scrap in half to make a 0.5″ x 3″ bow center.
Create bow by laying felt ribbon down as shown. Trim edges and Glue center down.
Wrap bow center around middle of bow trim to fit and hot glue down.
Hot glue down white pom poms in sets of 3.
Hot glue felt bow to the base of the mistletoe leaves.
Happy Crafting Kissing!
