Hollow point asked me once how I did my banana plant in my last mini-dio upload. So this is how I did it.

1. I used a stick 2 inches long. Then I covered it with triangle-shaped paper, which I over lap.




2. I continued wrapping the stick until it is completely wrapped then using CA glue, attached dried boxwood leaves which I shaped to sim banana leaves.


3. I then accented the finished plant by painting spots and streaks of brown on the leaves and the trunk.


Presto a banana plant
