STEP 1

For a best performance you can use a sieve (collander), white glue (Elmers) and a bag of Realgrass.

 STEP 2

You can take out eventual impurities that can remain.

 STEP 3

In this example, we are using  a medium sized sieve .
           
STEP  4

Place Realgrass in the sieve and  separate the fibers with your fingers

 STEP 4

Press and turn realgrass against the sieve as you separate the fibers

 After separation, you have two types of grass; smaller consistency  for low grass and larger fibers for taller grass
           
STEP 5

when realgrass is ready you can spread the white glue (before you can paint it with acrylic brown shades)

 STEP 6

Grab a wad of Realgrass by pinching bewtween your fingers and press in the ground with white glue

 STEP 7

When the glue is dry   you can paint Realgrass with a brush or airbrush; for straw effect the natural color is perfect and requires no painting.
