That's what I was going to suggest - getting a large 'silk' holly garland and peeling off the leaves. They usually come off very easily. This is how we did the angel wings from one of our painting reproductions (fantasy) - got every bit of silk greenery from the local craft store that had the right shape leaves, and peeled them off. We lucked out - the store had all silk flowers/greens at 50% off that day only.

Ouch!  That is pricey.  You couldn't pull leaves off bunches for  a lot
cheaper? And are you sewing them all on, as opposed to gluing?
