Saw this technique in MR's January issue. Took a while to find the right stuff, but I decided to give this fabric a try. Its something that would make Liberace proud, heck he probably had a suit made from it.

The process is simple.

1. Clear your plot of land.
2. Brush on carpenters glue
3. Apply the fur face-down.
4. Wait 24 hours.
5. SLOWLY peel it back, cutting as close to the backer as possible. I found that using scissors makes for a very un-even cut, and works faster & safer than trying to hack with a razor blade. In my case, the glue pulled up the plaster here & there, but this worked to my advantage. It created a very random pattern where the fur stuck, so it doesn't look consistent or smooth.
6. Use a cat brush ( ask the cat first ) to randomly pull at the material to add texture and vary the height even more.
7. Drizzle on some fine turf of an appropriate color.
8. Spray with dullcote, aquanet, or other binding spray.
9. Repeat steps 6,7,8 as needed.
10. Enjoy a frosty beverage and admire your work.















In the photos, it looks a little fuzzier than it is. But it looks 100% better than plain ol' ground foam, has a bunch of variation in texture, and with some more fine turf for blending and some trees around it, it will look even more realistic.
