Thank you Josh:
Steven, yes, i used tulle. I made a frame from .040" and .032" brass wires that I soldered together and then i glued the tulle to that frame with super glue (the only glue I could find to do the job). To glue the tulle to the brass frame, I lay the tulle on a sheet of glass, taking care that there are no folds, then I apply super glue to my brass frame (only two sections at a time) and carefully place the frame on the tulle and hold it down for a few seconds. Super glue does not stick well to glass, so I can remove my fence without any problems. After the tulle is glued to the frame, I put the fence on my cutting mat and using a new blade for my scalpel, I cut the tulle along the outside of the frame.
The vines climbing the fence were done with Noch Classic Foliage light green (#7312). I think similar products are Woodland Scenics Foliage #F51 and Heki #1550 or #1600. These are simply fine poly fiber mats covered with fine foam on one side. You can easily stretch pieces until they have the right shape and density and then glue them on. I used super glue to glue them to my fence.
