When Geoff and I cleaned up the base of the Tomy dollhouse, we pulled up the grass. I didn’t want to but it was getting ratty, and he wanted to hose off the whole base after scraping off all the old flooring paper, so the grass had to go. Just like sprucing up a real house, it’s now time to roll out some new sod.
I started by cutting a piece of foamcore to fit in the space where the grass used to be. The replacement grass I have isn’t as tall as the old grass so the foamcore is needed to add height.
I covered this with a Lemax grass sheet. I glued it down but also added masking tape to hold the edges down. This is the side that gets glued in so it won’t be visible.
This is the same grass I used on the Rosedale and it’s kind of awful — the “grass” sluffs right off, leaving behind patches of the flat green backing.
