How to make clump foliage really easily || recycling and reusing

[@bluedragonguild]

Recycle crafting is the best! Gives you a chance to be creative in a different way!

[@BeardClipper]

I love it; I hate throwing things away so being able to give a second life to a useful tool (washing up is very very useful) is awesome :) Cheers for watching mate :)

[@TheGreatMim]

Great little video, thanks for the reminder on this technique. Just love the way we can all share ideas and techniques on KZbin.

[@BeardClipper]

You are very welcome :) yeah, it's a great resource indeed, there are so many awesome channels (not least your very own). thanks as always for the support :)

[@thecatwasme]

Awesome technique, definitely something that I will use when I get to making forest terrain.

[@BeardClipper]

Ahh cheers; as I say I can't claim to originate the technique but it does bear repeating as it's such a useful little money saving tip. I'm very happy to have helped, and thanks for taking the time and effort to comment - it's appreciated.

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

I love this technique and this reminds me that I need to make a new batch up! I love the red 😀

[@BeardClipper]

Yeah it's so easy and effective :) I'll never forget watching Rubbish In Rubbish Out doing this and going "oh wow that's AWESOME!!!" :) Thanks for watching bro :) take it easy :)

[@Terrain_Craft_Chronicles]

@@BeardClipper about to de-stress by watching your latest vlog!

[@BeardClipper]

I hope it worked!!! :) cheers bro

[@harazhangf5782]

Super cool technique. thanks for sharing. :) And props to you for giving credit to Viv. And IIRC his channel is Knights of dice. :)

[@BeardClipper]

Thanks for watching and commenting mate :) much appreciated! Ahh yeah, that's the name.. I've such a terrible memory. He's a really top bloke, a really nice guy, and one of my first ever KZbin subscriptions :D thanks for pointing that out!

[@harazhangf5782]

No problem. Yeah super positive guy. Feels good to watch him.

[@bungleb]

A coffee grinder works well too. Especially for smaller ground cover bits

[@BeardClipper]

This is a good tip, and thanks for adding it. Much appreciated. Thanks for watching as well

[@ahmadziq]

This looked easy and great, I saw a video a few months ago by Knights of Dice, he's done, if I remember correctly, on an industrial scale, anyway, great job mate, they look beautiful.

[@BeardClipper]

Viv from Knights of Dice is the guy I learned this from! That's awesome :) He's a top lad, and makes great content indeed. Thanks as always for watching and commenting :)

Nice one, Beard. Coincidentally, I'm getting a new blender, soon, and will be doing exactly this. I've been planning 3-4 greens, plus a bunch of flower colours

[@BeardClipper]

Haha yeah having your own blender is key to the happiness of your life after making clump foliage :D That sounds awesome; I need to make a few more shades as well, but for now these have worked out perfectly for me. Good luck, and thanks for watching and for the comment :)

[@HopelessChatter]

Definitely going to be trying this out :)

[@BeardClipper]

Awesome!! I hope you end up with an excellent result :) cheers for watching, and for leaving the comment :)

[@BrushQuill]

Really unteresting, and a nice simple guide to follow. Cookery show to follow? 😂

[@BeardClipper]

Thank you mate!! HAHA I've done a cooking video already :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKrOYXmorNJ-pbs :D

[@lesliebeilby-tipping6854]

We have a wood burning cuisine for our heating and cooking. Next job here this spring will be to cut a tree down in the fields, split the wood and load it into the wood shed for winter 2024

[@BeardClipper]

I honestly think food tastes better when cooked on a wood burning stove. It's the true way to live; have fun with the splitting, that's a task I do not love :D

[@Jacob-tl1ig]

I do the same its awesome old sponses and food coloring works perfect only when i use th eblender i get in a fight :P

[@BeardClipper]

Haha I bought myself my own blender just so I can avoid that fight :D Food colouring is a good call as well, though. Thanks for the tip!

[@resammon]

How many years did you collect old scouring pads?

[@BeardClipper]

Mate I never throw one away :) They are useful for doing so many things, like sponge techniques for rust or patchy paint as well as for this :) I'm lucky to have the space to do this. Cheers for watching, and for the comment :)

[@oldgrumpyhunter]

Okay, this is going to sound like a dumb question, but here goes. What is the purpose of the PVA glue when adding the paint/color to the foam?

[@BeardClipper]

Thank you for your question - I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as a dumb question at all, the only dumb thing is to not ask! I am not talking scientifically here as I've not done any experiments but my thinking is that PVA is plastic based and therefore it holds the foam together and makes it less likely to crumble with handling. I don't know if that makes sense, but yeah. That's my reasoning. Thanks again!

[@oldgrumpyhunter]

@@BeardClipper The theory that PVA is plastic-based and helps hold the foam together is an interesting one and one that I had not considered. Thank you for your reply.
