Making palm tree leaves

This is my first time to try make palm tree leaves.  

Next  tree i made some parts differently..

i spread the glue more evenly, then its better cut leaves better looking.

Only what you need is glue, feathers  and  Dracaena marginata plants

 

First  i mix wooden glue 50 %  and  water 50%

Apply glue.to feathers 

  glue allows put  feathers as palm leaf shape.

When glue is dry you can cut with scissors final shape

i spray base color

i use white pigments and light green to make final leaves colors. 

I use Dracaena marginata to make palm tree trunk. I thin at its look very realistic.

Link Dracaena marginata plants. 

Then you need only glue leaves to tree.

 i am out of feathers... must order more.

only one side have leaves.

Its nor perfect but i hope at you got some idea you own work.

and i think at my next tree is much better than this.
