Woodland Scenery

[Drew]

The next ingredient I throw into this mix are various dried weeds & flowers from the back yard (or wherever else I might find them) I use things such as crepe myrtle, seedum, spirea, & some of the very hralthy crop of weeds we have in the flower beds every year!



I hit these with the spray adhesive also, & sprinkle on some ground foam…



Here’s where I’m going to plant my “forest”…I have painted the scenic base & added some ground cover, & I’ve cut some toothpicks in half, & stuck them in randomly into the foam base…



I put a dollop of white glue onto each toothpick, & then add the clumps of scouring pad foliage…



Then I add the dried weeds in among the clumps of foliage (I make sure to include some bare trees here & there)…I plant them by punching a hole in the foam base with a nail, putting a drop of white glue on the base of each “tree”, & planting it…I think the end result is a fairly good representation of a wooded area…
