Home made bushes and weeds the easy way.

How to make some weeds and bushes the easy way (sorry indoor only, as real weeds and bushes won't grow there).

These are simple, what do you need.
* Iron wire some old network cable (massive) will do
* glue
* Color mix scenery stuff.. (don't know the English name, sorry)
* Small gravel in a nice color (red, yellow and purple will do)

Cut the wire to length, dip the wire in glue and role it trough the color mix. After it dried at some glue to the top and role it true the colored gravel. Leave it to dry and you have weeds/flowers to put along side buildings and and you're tracks.

Bushes...

You need:
* Sisal rope
* Brown paint
* Green modeling flakes.

Take a part the top of the sisal rope, paint it brown and dip it while the paint is still wet in the green flakes. And.. Done..

A couple of good ideas there Wijnand I have used the sisal for tufts of grass but never thought of shrubs.

Welcome back by the way.

Ohhhhhh yes very effective. Weather proof? or do the green things fade?

I Recommend indoor use only.... Or you should find a way to protect it from rain and other moisture.
