Using the wife's bowl mixer is way faster, and I breaks up clumps very well. Just tell her it's food dye, and you can't understand why it stuck to the bowl like it did.
Hi Thomas, so the dish soap serves as a lubricant and allows you to add more sawdust during the mixing process. This allows you to make larger batches... Not a huge difference but noticeable, you're certainly not doing anything wrong though👍
Awesome video thank you! I’m here because I want to flock my Christmas tree using sawdust -I want different colors too -will this work on a real Christmas tree? Also can I use Dr bronners soap in place of the dishwashing soap? Many thanks!!
I think if I were to try flocking a Christmas tree, I would probably want to use some sort of adhesive spray on the tree and then apply the flocking. Regarding the Dr. Bronner's soap, as long as it is a liquid soap it should work just fine. Good luck👍
Hi... The soap acts as a flow agent or lubricant which keeps the sawdust from soaking up the paint too quickly. This allows you to make larger batches with less paint. Hope that helps🤔
Thanks for the simplicity. I've come across many videos on this and everyone seems to make it so complicated. I'm a woodworker so I have literally buckets of sawdust.
Very cool 😎 and simply explained! Two things to mention: 1: Be sure to use a dust mask so you don't breathe in the sawdust while working with it. 2: A wide mouth jar funnel and a paper plate taped into a spout shape may be helpful when placing your flocking into your containers.
i got some models, materials and tools as a birthday present this year. still, some important bits (like flocking, etc) were missing... earlier today i was thinking about how to do my own flocking and this video popped up on my suggestions... somehow i wasn't subscribed to this channel yet , but this is GOLD (2020 and 2021 have been all about absorbing every diorama/modelling video i can find on youtube). the spectacular builds i've seen are what drew my attention to modelling, but videos like this one are what made it real and something i absolutely look forward to try out! might not look much to some, but for me this are as precious as it gets!
Awesome! I'm really glad you found our channel and it sounds like some of our build tutorials will be of use so thanks for subscribing and watching our... This is exactly why we started this channel!
I like your disclaimer to not eat the sawdust! As if people really need it but then again, there is always that one person that will try it and say they learned it from your channel😂. I will be trying this technique this afternoon! Any tips where to get free fine saw dust
Ha! Yeah, thanks for watching this one... Funny thing is one of our viewers warned me about this because another video showcased jokingly eating some two part epoxy and of course, a viewer copied him, ate the epoxy and got sick... I think TH-cam demonetized his channel🥲. Regarding the sawdust, i've been told that any Home Depot would be happy to be rid of any sawdust they have back where they cut wood pieces for customers. Good luck with your project!
Hi, sorry I missed your question... To answer, the dishwashing liquid acts as a flow agent to evenly distribute the paint in the sawdust. Without the dishwashing liquid, you would find that the paint gets absorbed too quickly and you have to make much smaller batches. Hope that helps?
I've been making grass for my layouts and dioramas out of died sawdust since the '70's. And it's more effective and cheaper just to use fabric dye instead of paint for good penetration.
I'm a woodturner and was about to dump two bags of sawdust into the garbage this afternoon. I guess I'll make some flock instead. 😆 Thanks for the great video, really clear and easy to follow.
I'm a couple years late to the showa and just getting into diorama building, but this is so incredibly helpful. It just so happens I own a woodshop and access to hundreds of pounds of sawdust haha! Thank you for the video!
I would like to correct my comment. The orange food colour gets pale after a few weeks, others look ok for the moment. So maybe food colours are not the best option.
btw, i don't mean to blow up this video, but did you use an ENTIRE 2oz bottle of craft paint per "3 handfuls"? I've never gotten flock to look as dark and vivid as yours does.
Yes, I did use 2oz bottles for each batch I made for three handfuls, I did only use two on the leaf green I think only because the the bottle was not completely full. I think watering it down along with the dish soap help to distribute the paint evenly. Also, the sawdust was light in color so I'm sure that had something to do with that. Thanks for the comment👍
@@thecraftingbrothers9448 Since you mentioned it, I *was* wondering 'Why the dish soap?' So, it's to help with paint distribution? Saw another vid with a guy who didn't do it, and his seemed to turn out o.k. I really do love how *yours* turned out, though... Definitely vivid-- which is what I'm looking for...
@@thecraftingbrothers9448 The Dish Soap is to help prevent mold. My wife is the Inventor of SADUSDO. it will help if you ever get some moisture into your bag of sawdust flocking. It is not going to 100% help with mold, but it is a preventative measure that does seem aid in a longer storage. ALWAYS Throw out any sawdust product that has growing mold. You will know it when you see it. It grows just like mold on a slice of bread. When in doubt, throw it out. A very interesting video!!
The dust collection systems at diy home improvement stores have tons of sawdust and they will give all you can cary for free. It might cost you a strange look 😂
Hi, I usually just use a watered down PVA white glue. I apply the glue to the surface with a paintbrush and then shake the flocking over those areas and any excess flocking that doesn't stick can be used again. Hope that helps🙏
That Autumn Orange one would be perfect for some kind of desert like scene for either the base of a model or maybe even large scenery. This is a great idea too because you can use almost any paint including cheap of the cheapest paints.
Yes, any cheap paints will work and using the dish soap acts as a lubricant to spread the paint around which helps to make larger batches. Thanks for the comment👍
So the dish soap acts as a "flow agent" which allows you to use a smaller amount of paint when mixing with the sawdust. You can certainly do the process without the soap, however, you will tend to use more paint... Especially when working with sawdust. Hope that helps?
Hi, the liquid detergent serves as a flow agent/lubricant and allows the paint to adhere to more of the sawdust. You can do this process without the liquid soap and it will be fine, however, you will end up using more paint. Hope that helps... Thanks for watching!
Hi, the dishwashing detergent is used as a flow agent to allow the paint to stick to all the sawdust. Without the detergent, you would have to use less sawdust... Hope that helps?
Blessings for 2024 I just came across your video in searching for a way to use FLOCK ! and I'm very Impressed with your DIY. For me it's a Bonus once I can get some sawdust, then I'll be able to make my own Colors. I bought Red- Blue - White and Black and even though I figured how to use them, I just wanted to make sure I was Using them correctly 🙃 😅. Thank you 😊 for you Beautiful DIY. YOUR COLORS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND I LOVE THEM.
Excellent! I've been trying to think of ways to make fret lines and markers, all my other ideas required plastic or epoxy. This is great I have sawdust and acrylic paint!
Hi, glad you liked that video... I guess I forgot to mention exactly why I use the dish soap so the reason is that it acts as a lubricant and allows the paint to soak in to more of the sawdust. Without the soap, you would need to use more paint.
So, if you can get a 12 inch #40 mesh flour sifter, you can sift down to a very fine turf in about 20 seconds. Its far more efficient than using a sieve. Just figure this out this weekend as I was making a slew of odd colors for an alien planet. Thanks again for posting this video!
Great! Glad you liked that video and I appreciate the tip on the fine mesh sifter... I just picked up a cheap one at the Dollar Store, next time I'll try the fine sifter👍
Brilliant and amazingly helpful. I just ordered three bottles of Woodland Scenic coarse turf for about $45. I will probably return them and use your recipe instead. Fortunately, my neighbor is a cabinet maker and will have sawdust he'd be happy to give away. Thank you!
@@thecraftingbrothers9448 Hey, can I ask what paint you used for the darker green at the beginning of your video to match W.S. Blended Turf? I took a sample with to Walmart but couldn't find a craft paint that matched. Thanks much!
Do you have any advice for dyeing large amounts of very coarse wood particles and sawdust for use making a carpet pathway outdoors? I offer a note of caution, fine sawdust can be inhaled and is consolidated in the lungs resulting in emphysema and a life dependant on supplementary oxygen to live. no joke. This is a hazard working with anything 'dusty' such as cement , farming, woodworking. Thank you for the great video and for sharing your skills.
Not that you were struggling, but a cooking tip to fill the bag easier, stretch your baggie over a drinking glass glass or jar to hold it open so you can free a hand. Then you can spoon the flock in there, or use a spatula, plastic card, whatever. You have some nice colors there.
Thank you for the tutorial! Too bad I only collected the coarse saw dust and dumped the fine one! I am wondering if I can put it a food processor to make it finer so I can make my own weathering dust/flocking...
Hi, not sure what area you live in but if there is a Home Depot near you, there is usually free sawdust available where they cut wood for customers... They should be happy to get rid of some sawdust
As a scale modeler I've learned never to throw anything away. I save all my sawdust just for this specific purpose. I also make flocking and ground scatter out of foam ground up in my electric coffee grinder and colored with acrylic paint. I also make my own rust powder from 0000 steel wool and vinegar. Cheers from eastern TN
I myself do woodworking and have done it to. I have also found that if you have a pet store near you, ground coconut and walnut shell can add to the affect.
great use of sawdust, i remember as a teenage sweeping and shoving the stuff at wood molding plant my first part time job, there was mounds of the stuff
whoooaaa when you put that sawdust in ur mouth i died....

I tried 3 local sawmills trying to get free sawdust and none of them would give it away as they said it was all disposed off in a sealed extraction system and they could get to it, so what did I do? Cat Litter, the wood pellet variety, it cost be a couple of pounds / dollars for a HUGE bag. Its made from sawdust that had been pressed into hard pellets. A small handful of these in a jug, add and some boiling water and stir. They break apart and go back to sawdust really quickly. I have used about 5% of the bag and have 10 years worth of flock in 8 different shades!
Have you tried your local Home Depot or hardware store, depending on where you live? In the lumber section, customers often have wood pieces cut to size by the employees... There should be sawdust available there if you ask. Hope that helps?
I have a bunch of sawdust and old, unused paints, so having something to use it for when making new D&D minis and terrain will be a nice addition to my hobby collection! Wonderful video, and thank you!
Hi, when you're making a batch with sawdust, I would definitely do the colors separately, otherwise, the paints will mix and change the colors. When I apply the flocking, I often use different colors together, for example, for a Fall themed grass landscape, I will use green, yellow, brown & maybe some orange to achieve that look. Hope that helps?
Thanks. It’s more rewarding to make ‘stuff’ from scratch. My challenge is always getting the ‘just right’ green for a project. This great method has allowed me to experiment morewith various greens ( I get bags of acrylic paints at the thrift stores for next to nothing). I now feel fifty years younger making up my own sawdust flocking. Fun.
Has anyone tried this with white acrylic paint? I tried it and although it soaked the mixture very well, it didnt turn white. It could of course be due to me using a very cheap acrylic paint?
Hi, I have not tried to make white flocking but I would imagine that it might not come out true white based on the color of the sawdust you started with... Perhaps a pine or ash sawdust would work best if you can get it?
@@thecraftingbrothers9448 don’t worry, I won’t eat it straight up… I’ll just mix it into my bread dough before baking-so I can pretend to be back in Ye olde merry London days (sans arsenic humbugs)!! 😆👍
Hi Rick, Thanks for watching, glad you found that video helpful... Just use watered down PVA glue and apply with a paintbrush, then sprinkle a generous amount of flocking. Let it sit for a few minutes and then shake off the loose flocking, works great! If you want to have a grass texture, there is a different method, see my video on static flocking: th-cam.com/video/zd-GDR2p6Wk/w-d-xo.html
I to have made I call them memories about growing up on our farm never realized how good I had it then I do now.i would like to show you some of my project memories if I could if not I still like you idea's
Hi, in comparison to the Woodland Scenics shaker bottles you have, would you say the sawdust size made comes out similar to the smaller fine turf or the larger medium blended?
Hi, I would say that the sawdust I sifted was closer to the larger medium blended turf... If I had used a finer strainer, I could have achieved results closer to the Woodland Scenics fine turf. Thanks for watching🙏
Hi, so the detergent acts as a "flow" agent and helps to allows the paint to adhere to more of the sawdust. You can do this without detergent, however, you will use more paint.
@@ameeramohamad9242 Not sure if I know the answer to your question but I use watered down PVA glue applied with a paintbrush and then apply the flocking. you could use thicker glue if you want to mold or texture the flocking on whatever surface you're working with... Hope that helps?

It breaks the surface tension of the water/paint mix allowing it to more easily absorb into the sawdust

2: A wide mouth jar funnel and a paper plate taped into a spout shape may be helpful when placing your flocking into your containers.

@@RLBndR Thanks for that... We're looking in to it now👍

Great video! Now I need to find some sawdust.
I tried 3 local sawmills trying to get free sawdust and none of them would give it away as they said it was all disposed off in a sealed extraction system and they could get to it, so what did I do?
Cat Litter, the wood pellet variety, it cost be a couple of pounds / dollars for a HUGE bag. Its made from sawdust that had been pressed into hard pellets. A small handful of these in a jug, add and some boiling water and stir. They break apart and go back to sawdust really quickly.
I have used about 5% of the bag and have 10 years worth of flock in 8 different shades!
Have you tried your local Home Depot or hardware store, depending on where you live? In the lumber section, customers often have wood pieces cut to size by the employees... There should be sawdust available there if you ask. Hope that helps?
Very helpful sir thank you for the information 🎉
Brilliantly simple! Thank you!
I have a bunch of sawdust and old, unused paints, so having something to use it for when making new D&D minis and terrain will be a nice addition to my hobby collection! Wonderful video, and thank you!
GRAZUE PER IL SUGGERIMENTO
VOLEVO SAPERE ANCORA, PERCHè è STATO AGGIUNTO IL DETERSIVO DA CUCINA?
Can you put different colors of sawdust together for painting? Or do you have to paint them separately.
Hi, when you're making a batch with sawdust, I would definitely do the colors separately, otherwise, the paints will mix and change the colors. When I apply the flocking, I often use different colors together, for example, for a Fall themed grass landscape, I will use green, yellow, brown & maybe some orange to achieve that look. Hope that helps?
Thanks. It’s more rewarding to make ‘stuff’ from scratch. My challenge is always getting the ‘just right’ green for a project. This great method has allowed me to experiment morewith various greens ( I get bags of acrylic paints at the thrift stores for next to nothing). I now feel fifty years younger making up my own sawdust flocking. Fun.
You're welcome! It's absolutely rewarding to make your own stuff... And, it's fun🤗
Oh wow. Thank you! I started making fairy gardens for an inexpensive hobby or so i thought. Hahahaha
Awesome! I think this is a way to save you some money then🙏 Thanks for watching!
Has anyone tried this with white acrylic paint? I tried it and although it soaked the mixture very well, it didnt turn white. It could of course be due to me using a very cheap acrylic paint?
Hi, I have not tried to make white flocking but I would imagine that it might not come out true white based on the color of the sawdust you started with... Perhaps a pine or ash sawdust would work best if you can get it?
WHAT?!? Get the flock outta here!!😱
This is so simple, but so brilliant!!!
It really is... Give it a try, it's fun too, just don't eat the sawdust😬
@@thecraftingbrothers9448 don’t worry, I won’t eat it straight up…
I’ll just mix it into my bread dough before baking-so I can pretend to be back in Ye olde merry London days (sans arsenic humbugs)!! 😆👍
Great video. Just made my first batch using English Ivy Green and it turned out wonderful. Thanks!
Awesome! I'm glad this video was helpful🙏
How do you apply it? Does it feel like normal flock? Thanks for sharing.
Hi Rick, Thanks for watching, glad you found that video helpful... Just use watered down PVA glue and apply with a paintbrush, then sprinkle a generous amount of flocking. Let it sit for a few minutes and then shake off the loose flocking, works great! If you want to have a grass texture, there is a different method, see my video on static flocking: th-cam.com/video/zd-GDR2p6Wk/w-d-xo.html
I to have made I call them memories about growing up on our farm never realized how good I had it then I do now.i would like to show you some of my project memories if I could if not I still like you idea's
Sure you can... If you want to email us at kraftykindseths@gmail.com I'd have a look at that👍
SUBSCRIBED! Great video! Can't wait to make my own SAWFLOCKING!
Excellent! Glad this was helpful... Don't eat the sawdust though😬
Hi, in comparison to the Woodland Scenics shaker bottles you have, would you say the sawdust size made comes out similar to the smaller fine turf or the larger medium blended?
Hi, I would say that the sawdust I sifted was closer to the larger medium blended turf... If I had used a finer strainer, I could have achieved results closer to the Woodland Scenics fine turf. Thanks for watching🙏
Have you considered using a dowel in an electric pencil sharpener to get sawdust or shavings and refining it from there?
you could probly mix these colored saw dusts with an epoxy and use it as an inlay in wood. like childrens furniture or landscape pieces on wood.
The colors you can make with acrylic are endless so you could let your imagination go wild.
Eating sawdust for the win
I'll do anything for the win😬!
@@thecraftingbrothers9448 anything?
Compared with other videos,this is the most cheapest way to make the flock. Thanks for sharing this video.
Awesome! Love that comment, thanks so much for the positive feedback🙏 As recommended, please don't eat your sawdust😬
If I don't have access to the sun (re: Canada, and lots of overcast weather), can I put the tray in the oven on the lowest setting?
Absolutely... Another viewer asked the same question and the answer is the oven works the same way as the sun at the lowest setting👍
Do you think you can make Woodland Scenics snow using same method and white paint?
Yes, I think so... With that said, you would want to find the lightest sawdust possible like Pine, Poplar, or Ash if you can find it?
Excuse me why you used detergant ?
Hi, so the detergent acts as a "flow" agent and helps to allows the paint to adhere to more of the sawdust. You can do this without detergent, however, you will use more paint.
@@thecraftingbrothers9448 thank you
Could you tell me how can i use it in wood or texture with a glue or what ?
@@ameeramohamad9242 Not sure if I know the answer to your question but I use watered down PVA glue applied with a paintbrush and then apply the flocking. you could use thicker glue if you want to mold or texture the flocking on whatever surface you're working with... Hope that helps?
Great video, looks super easy to do. Thanks
