Grass Head Materials
You will need:
-
- Old nylon stockings or pantyhose. Knee highs and pop socks, work great. You can also use regular old socks, but the grass sometimes has trouble poking through.
-
- Grass seeds. I bought a small “lawn repair kit” which has seeds pre-mixed with slow release fertiliser, but you can use whatever seeds you’ve got handy. I hear that rye or alfalfa seeds also work well.
-
- Sawdust or potting mix for stuffing. Or just some soil from your garden. I got a bag of sawdust for free from a big hardware store – they seemed happy to get rid of it!
-
- Small yoghurt pot.
- Decorations. Goggly eyes and fabric scraps for the heads, coloured paper for the bodies, pipe-cleaners for spectacles… get creative 🙂
- Water-proof glue. For sticking on the eyes, lips, etc. I used hot glue, but you can use any sort of glue so long as it won’t dissolve in water.
This is so funny and your rocks are great this is very entertaining

Hilarious, but not sure I have access to panty hose, knee-highs or whatever “pop socks” are. Can’t you get these at Walgreens? Chia creatures come in many pre-made animals and semi-historical figures. I’m having enough trouble getting the grass in my yard to grow!

Rick,
Have you tried covering your yard with panty hose?
