One little trick I've learned (or relearned since I did it right the first time and wrong the second). Base the trees on something slightly bigger than the washers and glue those to the washers. That makes it easier to fit into the terrain after adding whatever texture. I also use magnets to hold the trees but some of the trees I 3D printed are pretty big and top heavy.

This type of foam commonly(or in my regions hobby & garden store's case, always) has formaldehyde throughout it. It is poisonous to touch for prolonged periods, and the fumes are toxic were you to use a hotwire cutter. This might be why you have note seen another video involving this material. I encourage all my fellow crafters to be cautious, and read the warning labels attached to your materials before starting a project like this; Dont just take another youtubers opinion, do your due diligence. It does look good though

A legitimate concern and a good comment that I thank you for. Something I should have mentioned in the video is there are different types of floral foam the most common being dry and wet. Dry is what I used and the only waring on the package is that it is highly flammable. Nothing saying "do not break", "handle with gloves", or "wear googles", which would be present if this stuff was super dangerous. I cant say I know for sure with wet floral foam. The biggest danger is breathing the dust in which is why I want to reiterate to always wear a dust mask and work in a well ventilated area when tossing the powdered foam around. At the end of the day you are correct that everyone should double check what they are about to smash apart and expose themselves to and what they feel comfortable using.

This is exactly why I loathe that stuff. Not only for myself, but also my pets.

Nice , I like that flock method. I do like my saw dust one . I give it a try

nothing wrong with the sawdust method, I just never have the right amount on hand or any that dosn't also have dust, cobwebs, or PVC bits in it as well.

Holy cow! Decades ago, I got some of this to try to make terrain with, and ended up throwing it out, since it just got dented and crumbled too easily. Now I'm headed to the Dollar Store. For drying foam, I really like to wait for a hot summer day, and line a cookie sheet or shallow pan with aluminum foil, put my flock glop into it and spread it out. Then I set out out in the sun to dry for a couple hours. I'll go back when the top layer is dry, and stir/crumble it up and let it finish drying. When it's done, I run it through a coffee grinder to break up any larger chunks, and if I want it really fine, push it through a sieve. I really like the modular rocks and signs too. I think that's a fantastic idea, and I'm definitely going to try it!

Good idea i almost made a solar oven since it was pretty cold when i was doing this but just a few hours of sunlight helped dry it out but at the cost of quite a few paper towels. Summer would be the best time to do this.

Sawdust is not expensive. Go to any store that sells wood cut to measurements and go to the cutting section. The dude operating the big saw will give you a big trash bag for free and thank you for saving him a trip to the dumpster.

I bought a lifetime supply of wood shaving at Walmart in the pet bedding section. It was $3. I put them in a coffee grinder and grind them up for whatever I need. Sometimes I need chunky, sometimes I need literal dust. Coffee grinder does it all.
