HEY
EVERYONE

i got another simple and easy to make tutorial
fake tree stump...this is for my pokie


first get a hollow tube for the base


then using expanding foam create some roots


let the first ones dry and then add some more


you can add branches if you want by adding smaller tube
i'm using a xmas wrapping paper tube and its gonna hold a drinking tub


use expanding foam as a glue to attach it



cover it 100% in foam


you can add some wood knots by using a cut of piece for the tube too


just place it in while the foam it still sticky


shape


add any extra detail

vines...


extra bigger roots.....


grout


paint



attached some moss and fake flowers with aqua sealent.
i know some people use hot glue but i avoid this as in hot viv it can AND does remelt and become dangerous for the inhabitant


AND FINISHED


HOPE YOU LIKE

gorgoeus! .. definitely a cheaper alternative to pet stores and gave me some sparks for creativity.. thanks for the tips and beautiful spider as well ;) pokies were never of much interest to me until lately, and now I am starting to branch out to them from terrestrials a bit ;)
