Hi there. Does any one know where I can get green polyfiber in Canada? What else is it used for, maybe that would help. I have been to craft stores and the local hobby shop and no luck. Thank's,

I've had pretty good luck using quilt batting instead. Five bucks for a giant roll of it inthe sewing section at Wal Mart. It comes in white, so just spray-bomb it whatever shade of green you want. Trees on the cheap! [:D]

Poly Fibre or fibre fill should be cheaply and readily availible at any store that sells sewing supplies and materials. Poly fibre is used to fill or stuff pillows and cushions. It is normally only availible in a white colour as its use as " stuffing" negates any need for colouring. For your trees you should try RIT or TINTEX watersoluble dyes in an appropriate colour as they seem to be the ones that best colour the polyfibre. Hope this helps.
