Draw a line through each leaf, with two short side branches.
5. Add the berries
Draw three round berries where the leaves meet.
6. Finish the berries

Finished? That’s just the beginning.
Try a different colour, add a snowy background, or turn your drawing into a card for someone you love. It doesn’t need to look exactly like ours.
