My original plan was to use wood glue to glue the leaves onto the stick. It doesn't work at all when you're trying to glue fabric leaves onto a stick. I held them together for a long time and still, the leaves fell off almost instantly. So then I went with super glue, which is a misnomer. Because it's not that super. The leaves still wouldn't stick. So I happened to have sticky dots, which are small die cut adhesives. You place the back of the leaf directly into the sticky dots, then rub the plastic backing and the small sticky dots "permanently" affix to the leaf. Using those and sticking the leaves onto the side of the tin can, then turning the can on an angle, is perfect. If you can't find sticky dots, Glue Dots would work well also. ​I didn't try a hot glue gun because I thought that might be too rough on the leaves, but if you try that, let me know.
