1) Lay out a piece of wax paper, and dot with glue to form the bases of your grass.
2) Lay a piece of screen (small "spatter screen" used with frying pans is good) over the wax paper, but supported on some strip wood or thick card or something. You need to only raise it about 1/4" or so.
3) Cut your clumps of grass, and poke them through the screen into the glue below.
4) Let dry.
5) Lift off screen, and peel grass clumps off wax paper.
6) Plant grass with addition dot of glue, and then add more ground foam, dirt, or whatever around the base as needed.
Pictures might be possible when I make the next batch...!
