Miniature grasses and flowers  

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial. 😃

Thank you! And you're more than welcome. 😀

These really do come out beautifully, and people will be in awe wondering how you made such tiny flowers, theyre also excellent for filling up bare areas on your dioramas, so when you make them, make plenty! far more than you think you'll need, because you'll use a lot of them, I can assure you. Pro tip..When you're making your own flocking, clump foliage and grasses, ALWAYS make a lot more than you need! 😉

Thank you for your kind comment!

Thank you so much!

You're more than welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.🙂

Thank you so much Kendra! ❤🙂

No problem at all! 😉

That's just what I love to hear! I'm so glad you have found this a useful video, enjoy making your mini plants and flowers! 🪴🌺😃

Thanky Cranky🙃

Excellent! lol..And if you do use a horse hair brush, please let me know how it turned out, I'm curious about the effect of the blade on a more natural fibre.

@@dinkydioramas8349 will do.

You will be glad you did, this is the most versatile little thing for making plants...Its excellent fun too!

@@dinkydioramas8349 I put my instagram name on the other day and it must’ve been removed, I wanted to show you my hot air balloon model lol as you wanted to see it. Let me know if you can think of another way I can show it you, I’m not that tech savvy 😂

Thank you again MR. DMC! ✊

Heya W Rusty Lane, let me know how they turned out, I find them to be pretty realistic. Happy building!

These tufts of grass are devilishly clever looking, they are a perfect example of the illusion used for miniaturization...I adore these, you must make some! You will be very happy with the outcome.

@@dinkydioramas8349 I would love to make some of those in this diorama that I’m making with the rusty roof. I’m not near ready to make those yet though I don’t work quickly. I do like my rusty roof a little bit better today but I think it needs more gray. So apparently I’m gonna be spending almost a week on this silly roof till I get it right. But I’m thrilled it has no shine.

@@lucyl6425 Thats the way! I learn something new everytime I build, its why i love it so much...Just keep on plugging away and you'll have success.

@@dinkydioramas8349 I would like to pick your brain if possible? I was thinking I wonder how you would approach making bittersweet it is a vine plant that grows and weaves in and out of fencing or trellises. I am curious as to what your ideas would be. It has a little orange berries and has paper like yellow petals on the outside of it. The vine has a strong bark to it and not bunches of leaves. Google has some pictures of bittersweet vine. My thoughts were to use wire but I’ve not been successful in painting wire where it sticks and not scrape off. I have some orange berry type floral I could use for the berries. I could use yellow tissue paper to simulate the berry pod. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@@lucyl6425 Would you be able to tell me the scale you wish to build one please? So I may know which materials may suit this best.

Nice to meet you Kaz!! These little grasses and flowers are super cute and realistic, I just love em.

@@dinkydioramas8349 they certainly are, I've always tried to make my own 'everything' lol 😂 Thanks to people like yourself its become far easier. I made the mistake of knicking into a Hobby Shop near me today and came out $40 lighter and all I had to show for it was 2 small bags of flocking...flucking hell! I went earlier in the week and got my yellow sponge lol from the closest auto shop 🤣 I love using the cheaper alternatives, thanks so much xx

@@karenmusa3052 Oh geez 😲...I just had heart palpitations...40 bucks for flocking..gaaah! lol I thought it was rough when I had to go to the local sawmill and pay $2 for a bag of sawdust, I had to collect myself from a huge mound of it...Looks like i was literally standing on a mountain of gold. 😂

@@dinkydioramas8349 hahaha I know its just bloody rude!! Yep u were definatley standing on valuable booty there girl 😅 Dear God my ex partner use to work at a timber mill!!! Can u imagine what I could have layed my hands on hahaha. Its become so huge now that the manufacturers are definatley cashing in..mungrels! I was watching a couple of vids yesterday and u can go straight to the manufacturer and buy by the kilo and half kilo bags and dye it yourself but I really don't need that much. I got stuck in yesterday and made my yellow sponge flocking 😃 thanks to u 🥰 and it looks great, well it does to me anyway 😊 Its drying out at the mo and there's 3 different shades of green. My dining room table is covered in twigs n bark n plastic foliage, blender n glues hahaha..causing me no end of anxiety hahaha there's crap everywhere..but I live alone so all good. Ground up leaves n debris down to really fine stuff and im about to colour it and get it drying...all the prep is a bit of a pain but great once its done and I can start on this bloody box 😆 Im procrastinating which is nothing new lol..do I do the trees first or the ground work, hell im not even sure what im going to do lol aghhh! Then there's the mirror placement 😳 and the lighting too 😅🤪😵😖 Maybe I've bitten off more than I can chew lol but im not giving up, the first one is always a learning curve isn't it. I've built miniature rooms before in old wooden draws. I think ive wstched way too many videos and my brain is now mush lol grrr. Im a perfectionist too, great..not! Thanks again for all your amazing vids hon, I might procrastinate again and watch a few more of them lol Cheers hon xx

@@karenmusa3052 Procrastination is a big part of perfection....It allows for time to reflect, observe and examine your work then think about what you can do with it...Procrastination is a HUGE part of how I work, I bet your work is excellent! Keep up the procrastination, take pride in it.

Youre so very welcome! These do come out really lovely, and you can make so very many, very quickly. Have fun creating your own little grasses and flowers. 😀

No worries! And Thank you. 🙂

You're so very welcome! 🌻🙂

Thank you Ellie! 🙂

Thank you very much! 🙂

That's wonderful, thank you! 🙂

Thank you very much! And G'day from NSW Aus. 🙂👋

Youre very welcome! 🙂

I'm glad you have found this video helpful, I reckon for a 28mm scale you could use cheap artists paintbrushes using the same method, only a little lighter handed and it would work as well, if not even better. the bristles would be shorter and softer making for very small, delicate grasses. I am going to attempt this myself now that you have brought this to mind.

@@dinkydioramas8349 Great! I'd love to see your results.

Youre so very welcome! 😀

You're so very welcome! 🙂

Thank you Ozzy! You take good care too 🙃

Thats wonderful! Its so good to make our own tiny worlds. Happy building!

You're very welcome! 🙂

You'll be very happy with the results! 🙂

LOL...Tiny little flowers floating away on the bed of tears. 😂
