Step 7: Attach more leaves. This can be tricky as you are wedging the leaf connection stem into place.

Your wish is my command. I also added a link to instructions pif500 posted for the donkey in his St Nicolas MOC.

Bruce

this is a really neat method! I love the idea of the upside down bush to make the dead fronds. Thank you for sharing!!

That looks great!

I think I might have enough of those palm tree leaves to make at least one of them! Thanks for the instructions.

Thanks guys! Also thanks Bruce for adding this to the how to page!

Thanks for the instructions! I'll have to use this sometime.

Really great stuff! I'll have to try it sometime.
