Grow your own trees - How-to.

[Mitch K]

Well, make your own trees, actually, but I thought "grow" sounded funnier.

I've written a how-to on making trees for a few pence each, here:

It's a bit image-heavy, but hopefully it's easy to follow because of that.

Here's a shot of the finished item, just as a taster.

Great tutorial.

I've used some similar paste on sticks to elongante softwood tree models to 40cm height and for lazyness' sake I've added black paint straight to the paste. Later I sprayed the stems with matte varnish and the frosting did all the highlighting job for me.
