  Step 1

  Gather your supplies. I have skewers in this photo, but you can also use plastic drinking straws. I spray painted my skewers bronze, but this isn't necessary since the leaves will be covering the skewers up.

• 

  Step 2

  First, put a small dab of hot glue on the tip of the skewer or straw.

• 

  Step 3

  Put your leaf on facing outward on the glue dot.

• 

  Step 4

  Turn the skewer over so that you can see the back of the current leaf and put another dot of hot glue.

• 

  Step 5

  Stick on another leaf.

• 

  Step 6

  Repeat. You can use this formation for gluing on the leaves to make it look fuller. Terrible illustration, I know. It's hard to photograph the real thing. I only glued the leaves about 5 inches down on the straw/skewer.

• 

  Step 7

  Here is a photo of the placement of the leaves. They are placed in clusters of 3-4.

• 

  Step 8

  I also made some using drinking straws and put them into my other vase in the kitchen for display.

• 

  Step 9

  I made copper wire "fillers" to add some quirkiness. I just put the wires in the straws in the middle! Easy!
