I curled the leaves with a bone folder and I divided up the leaves into 4 piles so I wouldn't run out. I did this after I did the first section because it looked like I may not have enough. Mine is very curled so I had to free hand cut more leaves from the scraps, it turned out great! I used a hot glue gun to adhere the leaves and then when it was hanging, I checked out the spots I didn't like, moved the paper leaves around and then glued the leaves down a bit.

Oh wow, this is incredible. It looks like you had a lot of fun creating this. I especially love the way the leaves are attached...making it easy to remove and replace with holly and Christmas baubles. Straight into My Favourites Carole Ann.
