Here's some pics and step by step.
1. supplies
2. couldn't find bear grass from HL. This was most expensive part! Ended up using 3 of the grass packets for ~$8 each
"Floral - dried Mix brown", $8.99 - throw out the "mix" part, "Floral-maton grass brown", $5.99 - this was cheaper and just grass so this was a better buy, but they only had one at the store.
Grass had wheat seeds on it - so snipped off those parts.
3. metallic gold and antique brass metallic spray paint from HD.
4. & 5. 5" ball and 3" cone from HL. Hollowed out cone a bit.
6. Spray painted foam in case it shows through grass (it did).
7. Spray painted pipe hardware gold.
8. Spray painted bailing wire gold. (Originally had some copper wire in 1.supplies picture, but used bailing wire instead)
9. Sand axe handle.
