Grass People
Simply place grass seed in the piece of pantyhose. Use enough to fill the toe portion. 
Next, add a supply of saw dust. You will be able to slightly shape the craft into a round head-like shape. Securely knot the pantyhose tightly to hold the products in place. If you wish to trim the end of the hose, this may make the craft appearance more appealing, but be careful not to trim a portion of the knot. Doing so may result in a mess.
Allow the craft to soak in water overnight. Place the head on a plate or plastic lid and allow the craft to do its magic. Children can decorate the face with markers or glue on google eyes, buttons, etc. once the project has dried.
