As my wife and I were retutning home from our Sunday morning breakfast out, I noticed a neighbor had thrown out an old artificial Christmas tree. As I looked at it an idea popped into my head. Why not cut off the tips of the branches and make shrubbery and low growth desert plants from them for my layout. Also, there might be a way to make trees. The discarded tree in now in my garage.
Has anybody ever tried anything like this or have any ideas or suggestion on how one might go about it? Since my layout has a one inch high density foam base and the brandes have wire cores, I can clean all of the needles off the botom one inch of anything I make and stick it directly into the foam.
I will post pictures as soon as I complete my first attempt.
