<p>I know this is a pretty old thread, but I was digging around and found the info useful.</p><p>A guy at the local hobby shop recommended hydrangea clippings to make trees, so I have some from my own yard that are pretty good. I dried them and bought some clump-foliage and thought I was good to start.</p><p>Then the hobby shop guy said that the dried hydrangea would be too brittle to handle, so he would soak the whole clipping in diluted glue, then use ground foam, not foliage.</p><p>So, should I soak the whole clipping, or just put the glue on certain areas?</p><p>Should I use foliage or ground foam ?</p><p>Is the floral tape that was wrapped around the "trunk" of the clipping (tutorial - start of thread) just to get a thicker "trunk" ?</p><p>I guess I could just experiment and see what I like best, but I thought I would see what people thought, as I only have about 10 hydrangea clipping to work with at the moment. </p>
