Lembas Bread Leaf Wrapper (the Lord of the Rings)

I wanted to make something from the Lord of the Rings so bad. (I love those movies so much. It's an obsession hehe ;D ) I got the great idea to make leaf wraps for the Lembas Bread. I just thought it looked really cool. (Yah I'm a huge geek :P) Plus with Valentine's day coming up wouldn't that make an awesome gift wrap? ;) What do you think?

I used the picture on this site to make it, just so I could visually get the shape down since in the movie they didn't really show it all unwrapped or it flashed by so quickly I couldn't see.

Please refrain from the *it looks like male parts* jokes. Yes I know, but that is the shape it is supposed to be. It is a leaf that can wrap around to hold things, it needs to be long.
Thanks for looking :D
