[SML] Tumbeweed

[Riter, Andrew]

FR spray foam?  (I’m not props or paint, so I’m struggling here)

Dunk in a vat of FR liquid?

Your mileage and AHJ will definitely vary.

Dried foliage sounds like great kindling. How would you FR that?

How about drawing something with a 3-d pen?  Keep attaching points bigger and bigger until you get the size you need. Else hot glue some wide weave tulle.

May not be practical for you but:

I had some small flowering shrubs that didn’t survive winter.  Once the leaves fell off, and it dried out from being dead, it might have passed for a small tumbleweed.  (I’m from the west coast, and haven’t seen a tumble weed except for movies).

Some pruning would help (the base stalk to root ball, thin out the interior somewhat).

Go to a local nursery, find something the right size and shape, remove from soil, let it dry out for a week or three, and prune it.

Hello all,  I am currently working on the production of “Johnny Gitaure” (or how ever it is spelled).  The director want some tumble weeds at some point in the show.  Does anyone have an idea of how to build one?  Being in Iowa, a road trip to AZ is nice, but not in the budget.

Please & Thank you
