Thanks all. The base is made from a 2" PVC pipe covered with hardware cloth. The very bottom is a chicken wire "donut" that I put in a saucer for a large pot. Then I put the PVC pipe in the donut hole and wired them together. For the very top of the stand I took the leaf and formed a piece of hardware cloth to the shape of the bottom of the leaf (maybe about 10" x 12") and wired that to the top of the PVC pipe. Filled the saucer with QW to cover the wire, then covered the pipe and top. The leaf just sits in the bowl on top of the stand. It's a large leaf and heavy enough that it won't blow off or fall off very easy if somebody bumped it.
