I took clumps of flocking material, and patted them down to create a thin layer of grass on the base. I mixed small batches so that the mixture would not dry out while I worked, but the process went quite fast for me. This is the first time that I ever flocked dollhouse lawn, and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. Read more at: http://thegarfieldblog.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-perfect-lawn.html -

You can use Scenic Cement to glue the grass on, or you can simply use watered down white glue. I have used both during my project, and got the same result. If you are watering down glue, make sure it is not so watery that it will not hold down the grass after it dries. It will be the consistency of full-cream milk, and slightly slimy from the glue. I poured the flocking material into a disposable bowl, and mixed it with the glue so it looked like avocado dip. Read more at: http://thegarfieldblog.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-perfect-lawn.html -

Many many years ago, I had bought two Woodland Scenics landscaping kits from Hobby Lobby. I finally dusted off the boxes and was surprised that the Scenic Cement (watered down glue) was still OK to use! I found one medium pouch of "Green Blended Turf" and smaller pouches of "Burnt Grass Fine Turf," "Green Grass Fine Turf" and "Medium Green Coarse Turf," all of which I mixed together in a zip-lock bag to get enough material to flock the lawn.

I painted the wooden base with a coat of sap green acrylic paint, before adding the grass. Read more at: http://thegarfieldblog.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-perfect-lawn.html -

I have to share my cool find in the craft department at walmart last night. You know how every now and then you stumble across something and the light bulb comes on over your head? :idea: (that gets me such funny looks in the store when I start yelling and dancing around like that) Anyway, the "Eureka!" moment occurred when I was looking at the wooden plaques that they sell (which make excellent bases for quarter scale houses BTW) and I saw what they call a Wood Tile Board. It's made by Plaid and is a very shallow tray (about 1/16th of an inch recess) with 9 wooden tiles in it. The whole tray is about 14" x14" and cost $7. I tossed the tiles into my scrap box and hugged the frame. LOL! The wood is nice around the edges and it's sturdy enough to hold a half scale house. The size is absolutely perfect for landscaping and the slight recess is enough support to help hold a fence upright. I'm really excited because it's just a beautiful finish to a half scale house and it's ready to paint, glue on the house, and landscape straight from the store. No cutting or sanding required. Yay! I have a half scale Tennyson and a half scale Rosedale both in dry fit and tried them on the board and it's a perfectly proportioned fit. I'm going to go back and buy their entire stock! Deb
