Pretty awesome. Never gonna look at a tattered, old, artificial Christmas tree tossed out on the curb the same again.

@DevsDice 3 года назад

That's awesome! I would look into making my own and in that case I would use either really fine sawdust or trying to grind up fluffy foam and color it. AFAIK that's what the woodland scenics is. I think though that sawdust might be simpler? Depending on your specific situation. Hope that helps!
