The ferns come as sheets of white paper, lazer cut. You spray them with green paint, I find ink works well. I use the ink bottles you can buy in cheap stores for refilling ink cartridges. You could propably do this by hand if you do not have an airbrush.
When dry, you snip the connecting pieces of paper and then roll the ferns with a cocktail stick to get that bend.
Then a blob of pva and stick a few in by the stems. Once dry you can possition them - they are quite tough.
Alternativly you can buy finished figures of your choice from me at Battlewagons!
Here are some Russians I did for a guy in the US.
