For a more flexible adhesive, use rubber cement. Works as a permanent contact adhesive but doesn't become stiff or brittle. Even works on eva foam for the dungeon walls idea.

Great idea By doubling your width you could fold the scouring pads over the wire removing the seam line Looking forward to using these in a moving garden
@SebMakesStuff4 ай бұрын
100% someone else mentioned this to me and I can't believe I didn't think of it myself haha. I'll definitely be doing that for my next batch, along with trying some more flexible glues
@timothyperrigoue39974 ай бұрын
The scouring pads alone can be stretched and teased way out, washed with dark tones, bunched and clumped to obtain a bramble hedge look; lightly flock with leafy stuff. The flexible wire idea is splendid and a good show! You may find you can get away with using lighter gauge floral wire... it is insanely tough and already painted green or brown.
@SebMakesStuff4 ай бұрын
These are some great notes! I'll definitely try teasing out the pads. And I actually think I have some floral wire somewhere from old builds so I'm keen to give that a go aswell. Thanks for the ideas, I love the feedback on these builds so we can perfect these builds as a community so thabks for the ideas

This idea might also help hide the steam between the two pads, which IMO detracts from an otherwise very good looking result. Now don't get me wrong, this is a great project that I'll have to try myself. Just subscribed!

Stopped at 2:24 to say/type this so sorry if it's mentioned later in the video. But you can just cut a wider piece of scouring pad and fold it over the wire for a more manicured look. You can also get some twigs from outside properly treat and seal them and insert 1cm - 2cm worth one every inch or so... So that it looks like bush stems going up into the bush from the ground... you may have to angel them so they stay upright. The second technique could be adapted to make X-mas-like trees. Just keep adding more wool until you have one thicker end.

This is a very good idea. I'm planning to make a heap more of these trying different techniques so I'll definitely be trying it bent over to clean up the top.

If you want your initial cuts to match better, lay down two scouring pads, you can even glue them with something that comes apart easily, and make sure they are lined up precisely. Lay out the line you want to cut and put a steel or aluminum ruler down firmly on the line, and cut BOTH pieces at once with a sharp blade. The top edge will be exactly the same on both pieces. This works for paper, foam, foamcore, fabric, anything you want to cut and match.
@SebMakesStuff4 ай бұрын

@@SebMakesStuff If you had magnets along a flat middle bendy core you could have panels that attach that have the interesting walls. If the core is a colour that doesn't interrupt too much if it peeks through a little between the flat panels then it may work. Or you could have outer and inner curve sized panels. Easier to make a bunch of panels with a few bendy cores than a huge set of bendy walls. Plus, you can switch between wood, stone, metal, and so on as needed along the bend by switching in those panels.
