You have two good answers, BUT if you want your cuttings to grow into holly shrubs with berries, be sure to take cuttings from both the male and the female. Label them! When they are rooted, plant them fairly near each other so they can be pollinated.

Holly can be rooted from cuttings. Dip cut ends into a "Hard Wood" rooting hormone. Best results are found when you then place the cuttings in a soiless growing medium or vermiciulite. Keep moist but not too wet keep in a warm location.

Try it. Take a cutting about 6 to 8 inches long. Strip off lower leaves. Dip in rooting hormone. Plunk in light potting soil (commercial potting mix like miracle gro mixed with peat or sphagnum moss.) Water. Place that container in a zip type clear plastic bag and watch for new leaves. When new leaves form, roots have formed. Good luck.
