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.

  1. great idea - I will definetely use it for my Mishima Samurays - the only pronlem is that I dont want to use plant trunk, but I think Stripes of toilet paper around tune with wires in should look convincing,
