I've spent a few hours over the Christmans break making sisal rope pine trees. I learned these from Joe Fugate, but I'm sure varieties of these have been around for years. They're new to me, but after making a few dozen, they are looking much better. Here is a sample of one of the 10 I made this morning.
They are simple to make. Cut sisal rope into 3 inch pieces. Unravel the rope and place it on masking tape laid onto a section of wire. I use rebar tie wire, which is very inexpensive. Spin with a drill and then trim to the correct dimensions. Spray with brown spray paint and then Super 77 spray adhesive. Cover with Woodland Scenics conifer ground foam. I grind my foam in a blender to make it a little finer.
