Notes:

This goes without saying, but... print the holly leaves in green, the berries in red, and the tag itself in white. Or, be a rebel and create your own color scheme!

The print layer**must** be set to 0.2mm or less for this to print correctly.

If you use Cura as your slicer, I highly recommend that you enable the [ Ironing ] feature. This adds a little bit of time to the print process, but it makes the top surface perfectly smooth. Doing this allows you to write on the tag with a Sharpie without the ink bleeding between the lines, as you can see. I tried one without ironing and the letters looked like they were in a cartoon rush!

Post-Printing

I purposely modeled this so that the holly leaves and the berries can be positioned anywhere as opposed to having a preset indented, location.

• The quickest way to assemble these is with hot glue.
• The leaves are fragile at the point where they intersect, so be gentle until mounted.
• Be sure that the leaves are mounted with the stem line facing up.
• The berries will only properly fit one way into the leaves. Note the rotation before gluing.
• Place one small dot of hot glue on the tag and then gently press the leaves and the berries onto that drop.
• Any excess glue can be pulled off easily once it's cooled. Trying to clean it up while it's still hot will only create a mess!

How I Designed This

I am still trying to get a grip on blender, so this model was a mashup. I could not figure out how to create the freehand shape needed for the leaf in blender, so I modeled that in Sketchup and then imported that into blender. From there, the rest of the model was done in blender.
