I use rubberised horse hair trimmed into rough balls with scissors.
You can even blow it across the table. :D

Along with a creaking/banging door hanging off one hinge :D :D

Nice idea too. :)

I would have suggested the one kind of lichen people often use for bushes and other kinds of foliage. Unfortunately I don't remember what it is called, nor can I find a decent picture at the moment. Its weediness would be a bit larger than rubberized horse hair but would be suitable for use. Preferably the light coloured variety.

Overlord got it in one, but what you CAN do is attach a peice of very fine fishing line to the horsehair and sneekerly hold the other end and pull it without anyone noticing you...

Spooky  ;D  lol

You can also take some steel wool, make it into a loose ball and spray paint. Once sprayed, the thing becomes a little stiffer and is more contained than the horsehair.
