The first step is to cut out all your holly leaves. I used about 50 of them for my 5 1/2 foot garland here.

Begin gluing the leaves to the tinsel garland starting at one end. If you want your garland to be curved be sure to lay it out in that shape before gluing any leaves down.

I like to glue the first 2 in a V shape at the tip of the garland and then glue one holly leaf below in between the two.

Once you have finished adding the holly leaves pick some spots on your garland to add on the honeycomb berries. Open the honeycomb balls half way and glue them down in clusters.
