    It really doesn't get easier or more realistic than this. Making these miniature trees was very easy and relaxing, sort of like arranging flowers. I feel zen as hell right now.
    These trees would look fantastic in your dollhouse, a Christmas village, Christmas or winter decor, or as terrain in games like Dungeons & Dragons.
    This is the best source for the moss. It's not only from a small business, but it's the best quality I've seen. The color and level of dryness is perfect.

    Some of my favorite things:
    Paper fasteners & 1/8" hole punch
    amzn.to/3O5nYI6
    2 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
    amzn.to/3zmMLR1
    8 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
    amzn.to/3zpiMbm
    Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.
    amzn.to/3YBAIcH
    Craft heat gun that doesn't get as hot as mine
    amzn.to/3ZZ5wWe
    I have lots of projects planned ranging from scratch made accessories, abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I'm also working on a large Harry Potter build in 1" scale.

      Thank you so much, I wish I had known that while I was there, I would have purchased some. Thanx bunches for the link. It's the only kind of Christmas tree I am stuck on making. I first saw this idea back in the beginning of making miniatures. I'm glad you did it as well, your trees and technique look more simple than the tutorial I saw, and I would choose to add a real tree trunk as well. It was great to see this💖. It's the only reason I didn't join in with our Tiny Friends for the Christmas Tree Collab, I didn't have the Lycopodium 😉😆🥰

      Go for it! I did think about just stuffing a bottle brush tree with the moss, but I think it would actually take more time and you would need to have bottle brush trees to work from. This method is really cheap, easy and fun.

    I have looked everywhere for this kind of moss because it looks perfect, I havent looked in the garden, but will, maybe it doesn't grow in Europe or something? I love the look it gives those trees! Oh no, its on a list as an endangered species here in the UK because farming etc has caused it to decline to the point of being endangered.

    What lovely lush looking trees. The lycopodium moss that I've had in the past is quite curvy and twisty branches (I probably just ended up with the cheap and nasty bits because I didn't pay much for it lol) but the fronds (is that the right name??? or the branches??) that you use were absolutely perfect for the trees!
