My tree recipe: Take 1 Bamboo skewer, cut to length, leaving an extra inch or so at pointed end. Paint skewer gray or brown, let dry. Take 1 furnace filter, cut into rough tree shapes and size. Coat top (not pointed end) of skewer with white glue Insert into furnace filter material, Poke into scrap foam to dry. Pull fibers out into more rounded tree shape. Spray paint Hunter Green Put into coffee can of dark green ground foam & shake. Allow to dry. Poke pointed end into scenery base. For adding "snow" I think giving a downward spray of matte medium or hair spray and lightly sifting on your snow material might give a realistic look to your trees. Haven't tried this myself. A couple hours will give you many dozens of trees for under $10. Wayne
