Does anyone have tips  on wiring leaves? With my flowers I usually have no problems but I find it difficult to wire my leave, the wire goes through the gum paste or comes out. For my leaves I use a fairly thin wire. I have also tried to cut out two very thin leaves which I glued together with the wire in the middle but it was difficult to get the leaves exactly the same on top of each other.

Help pleae!

Thanks

Hi Edna,
Thanks, that is a lovely offer,but I am not sure you realize I don't live in the USA. Shipping would become expensive and complicated. In addition, I don't know how I could repay you. I live in Israel.

Thanks Edna, sounds like a good idea only, they don't sell them in my neck of the woods.

I am celboard girl. I like my gumpaste really thin and this is the best way to achieve that. But You can leave the base thicker and not having to use the celboard. The other thing is that the celboard has five grooves that allows you to do five
leaves at a time. Faster than doing it one by one
Well, it was a thought.. :)
