What can I use to double as fake miniature trees?

[Deja Q]

I have everything to make a graveyard diarama except trees. Oh, and a fence... but that's okay... O8)

[Gormy Cuss]

1. Raw broccoli stalks, if it's a temporary display.

They won't hold up for long unless they're in water and out of direct sun.

[Deja Q]

3. I like that one!

Won't cost anything extra...

:applause:

Don't ask what I'm doing... :spray:

[Kutjara]

2. The little trees they use on model railways.

They sell them at hobby shops and they're fairly cheap.

[Deja Q]

5. So is broccoli. And unlike model trees, broccoli is edible.

:9

[Kutjara]

8. That's a lie our parents tell us when we're young.

Broccoli is not edible. Not even a little bit.

[Throd]

4. Big sticky green buds

[Deja Q]

7. Balls of snot?

6. You could probably get real fake miniature trees at a craft store.

You could make real real miniature trees out of real tree twigs. If you want fake fake miniature trees, you're on your own.

9. I can't wait!

10. I would suggest Fake Plastic Trees...

From Radiohead's "The Bends" CD. It won't help you with your project, but you'll surely enjoy the music!

[Lethe]

18. indeed

very good tune

11. Moss and small sticks or...

or put cotton balls in a zipplock bag with a small amount of leaf colored paint smush the paint throughout the cotton. Wire doubled and twisted into the shape of a leaveless tree then painted works too. Or wrap/cover the wire with strips of brown paper grocery sack. dilute some elmers glue in water, then soak the paper strips, lay the strips on the wire

13. Get to the thrift store

Get some old christmas wreaths and cut them apart for evergreen trees.
Who knows what else will jump out at you.

[Generic Brad]

14. Little twigs

But if you want foilage I can't help you.

[mykpart]

17. I'd go with little twigs.

Skip the foliage. They should be dead trees. Or at least leafless. It's a cemetery in October.

[Drum]

15. Actual miniature trees?

Bonsai trees are expensive and need tending, but are still the best.
:evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

16. Damn, you just gave me a new idea...

Peeps who prune bonsai trees as a hobby... that should be as gruesome as peephenge...
