In order for the folded leaves to hold the mold, they should be ironed along the folding line. Glue the two leaves together. For one decoration, you can use two or four leaves. Imitating a branch of holly, leaves are glued together in pairs. On the outside of the leaves can be glued silk ribbon, beads, rain and other decorative elements.
