Do Not Try to "PLUCK' a bush from the backing sheet! These are not grass tufts. You will squish and smash the bush to a point that it is useless. These materials do not like "fat fingers". Always use tweezers to handle the bush until you learn it's limitations. First: You must remove the paper backing sheet from the black cardstock. It is glued at the corners. It's OK if you tear the card as it serves no other purpose. Try to keep the backing sheet in tack however. If it does tear keep the loose pieces together. |

With sharp scissors begin cutting apart the bushes. Cut apart in square bases. Try not to cut too much of the branches. Some of the bushes, especially the shorter shrubs, have branches touching the ground base. Smaller trimming scissors may be a better tool for this purpose. |

Very rarely in nature do you see square shapes or even straight edges. What needs to done next is round-off the straight edges and shape the base to blend more naturally. This can be done using trimming scissors or buy tear small pieces away from there perimeter. Tearing will give the most random edge that really blends nicely with other scenic textures such as grass tufts and foam turfs. |

The paper base, as you may have already noticed is a soft porous material that will easy conform to any contour. Use simple white glue to adhere to your scenic base. We recommend that bushes and shrubs be placed first on your scene, and then blend the supporting materials grassy tufts, static grasses and foliages. |

Take our advice! You should only cut what you need at the moment. Experience has proven that if bushes are cut off the backing sheet and lay around unprotected... well the do become damaged and unusable. Get in the habit of always store the unused portion back in the plastic box for safety. |
