No no no........I already have leaf mashers. Sorry I should of been clearer. I have figured out how to get the leaf shape but now I want to create a scalloped edge all around the leaf.
I have seen them around. Here is one example on Etsy.

(You can also use round-nose pliers, but these are easier)

I have lots of tools but I don't get how to create the scallops. Something basic I am missing I am sure.

Hmmmmmmmmm maybe this won't transfer well in text. I am having a mental block with this. I heat the edge of the glass, then I pinch it with the pliers and then.......I get lost and zero positive results.

Once you pinch it turn the pliers one way... it will lift one side and bend the other down... now grab the next chunk of glass... turn it the opposite way... one side will lift the other will bend down.
