Theres an easy way to make them. take a twist tie and strip the tape off
it. then get 1in wide masking tape and keepint the wire straight, fold it over the wire long ways. you should have a two inch strip or so with a wire running right down the middle. now paint it green, whatever shade you want. clip the sides to form leaves, ferns work well and look nice, but you can make them any shape you want to. make several for a houseplant, put in a mini pot and put a little clay in the bottom to stick the leaves into. i have made several of these and if you'd like i can make some more and take pics as i go. if this isnt clear enough. they do turn out fantastic though, and with the wire, and tape, are easily shaped. looks very real too. michelle "Metis-Artist" wrote in message news:fvlVb.430945$X%5.392727@pd7tw2no...
