How to Build a Hedge.

This project is simple and fast and you get some pretty nice results.  First get a green scouring pad some white glue and jumbo craft sticks.  You will want to cut the scouring pad into 6 pieces, they are about waist high to a 15mm soldier.
Cover the bottom of the cut piece of scouring pad with white glue and stick it to the craft stick.  I painted my sticks first, but I'm not sure this is necessary.  Let these dry over night.
Next cover all of the scouring pad and craft stick in white glue.  I think that using watered down white glue would be better than the pure stuff like I used, but haven't tried that yet.  
Once it is all covered in glue I cover it completely in some blended turf flock.  
Once it dries over night you can glue a couple stones to it to make it look a little more lifelike.

  1. Trying to tell from the bottom picture, did you snip off the rounded ends?

    1. I used a small saw to cut off the round ends of the craft stick on the first one. I still haven't decided if that is how I want to do them all, but I suspect I might as they will fit together better.
