Fake Plastic Algae Instruction Manual

In case you've ever wanted to make fake ulvoid algae here's how:

1. Cut out one yard (wide) pieces of green silicon impregnated nylon, cut these in half, then in half again.

2. Add rocks as anchors


3. Sew rocks into nylon




Voila, the finished product!

hi i like your method of making fake ulna. i'm a grad student at university of california, santa barbara and am trying to make some fake eel grass for a pipefish project. we've bought some imitation eel grass but its getting costly. just wondering if you think that your ulva method could be modified to make fake eel grass--mainly, does the silicone impregnated nylon float?

hope to hear back from you.

thanks
