- Use the leafy templates from here for the plant part. Blow them up or scale them down for additional sizes.
- I varied this template by cutting incisions into the sides of the leaves to add texture. Make incisions about every 1/2″ diagonally into the leaf.
- Optional: paint leaf detailing onto the leaves in a contrasting color.
- Fill a vessel with rice (or sand). I didn’t want to waste a lot of rice so I filled a small balloon with air and put it in first. Make sure you cover any holes that may be in the vessels with tape)
- Start inserting your leaves starting with the center leaves and working out. Make sure they are spaced evenly.
- Voila!
