When I decided on a swamp shack, I immediately thought of cattails! But I had never made them before, so I did a little research and this is what I came up with. I started with a piece of wire and added green fondant to it, keeping it as thin as possible, knowing that I had to build the brown around it.
I then added brown fondant, and wrapped it around the green.
Next came the leaves. Taking the same green fondant as the stem, I rolled it out thin. I then cut a leaf shape, and inserted a green toothpick. To make it a little more believeable, I pushed the edges up, and on some of the leaves I added a bend to the top.
These are the pieces that I used to create a couple of groupings.
I let them dry overnight. I grouped the different pieces together and stuck them into the styrofoam base.
