Step 1

Cut the block of foam into two triangular shapes. The tallest approximately 22 cm tall and 9 cm wide. The small piece approximately 7 cm tall and 11 cm in wide. Make sure the bases of both pieces of foam are flat so that they will stand unaided.

Step 2

Submerge the foam in water for a few seconds until the foam has turned dark green.

Step 3

Start with the smallest triangle of foam. Cover each end first by pinning grass tautly; making sure no foam is visibly. Then start pinning individual grasses at one side of the dome.  Pulling them taut across the foam and securing the other side with another pin. Continue until the top of the foam is covered with leaves. 

Step 4

Then add the grass to the tallest triangle of foam. Trim the bases of the leaf neatly and pin into place. Pin the leaf securely into the top of the foam and let the tips of the grass curve naturally.

Step 5

Arrange the leaf sculptures on the plate adding glass beads if desired. Recut the stems of the two Anthuriums , push one stem into the back of the tallest foam sculpture, the other into the front sculpture.

Step 6

Top the plate up with a small amount of water daily
