Do It Yourself Cobblestones
For my last diorama, I wanted to make a cobblestones street by myself, but I didn't know how to do it.
There are different after market traders that offer cobblestones, but the cobblestones are either to small or to expensive.
One day, as I was in the supermarket, I found by chance a package of green lentils. I knew immediately that could I use these for my project.
These green lentils have an ideal colour for this street, and I wanted this colour to come through in the final diorama.
The following are the steps I went through to create my cobblestone street.

Step 1. This is the bag of the green lentils for the cobblestones. You can see the different colours of the lentils.
|
Step 2. First you cover the whole base, where the cobblestones street should be, with double sided sticky tape.
Then you put the lentils on the tape, piece for piece.
