Abstract: A method and apparatus for the forming of artificial leaves and flower petals, especially for use as a craft item, includes a male form for forming an armature for the leaf or petal and a female mold for generating the leaf or petal body. A flexible wire is wrapped about the male form to form an armature with an extending stem. The armature is removed from the form and placed in the mold. The mold is then filled with a film-forming casting material, such as a polyvinyl acetate. Upon cure, the artificial leaf or petal is removed from the mold. The leaf or petal may be combined with other leaves or petals similarly formed to form an artificial floral arrangement.

Abstract: A costume jewelry item comprises a length of flexible transparent tube into which is loaded a flowable decorative material, such as sand.
