In this part of the tutorial I show you a couple more neat techniques for making the foliage.

Part 1 of this tutorial is here

Another thing that you can do to improve the trees is to use different sponges that have different shades of green or different sponge patterns.

A great way to get textures from the sponge is to use some kind of tool on it like a rasp. A lemon zester, cheese grater or foam carving tool would also work. You want to scrape off pieces of foam.

This gives us some nice foliage. You can apply glue to the tree and dip it in this.

Scouring pads also make for excellent tree foliage.

And various colors can add some nice accents to your trees. Here I rasped a yellow sponge and some pink foam.

And that's it! Have some fun. There are an unlimited number of possibilities for making miniature trees out of household materials. If you make some trees be sure to send me a picture!
