Sometimes the fastest way of making stunning scenery isn’t always the cheapest or easiest, but with the right tools it’s amazing what you can make.

The coconut palm trees I make in this video are made with the assistance of the Brother Scan N Cut die cutting machine, an absolute must when it comes to creating these fantastic looking palm leaves. The whole process is very easy and once you put a bunch of these palms together in your scene they will surely grab the attention of any onlookers.
