I wonder if you could get a clear plastic 1 inch grid sheet and heat gun it on.

My hubby has passed down his love of D & D to our boys, and I have ZERO interest at all. When asked if I use my crafting skills to make something for them, I found your channel. Thank you for all the AMAZING ideas !! Don't care to play or learn the game but I do enjoy making props for them.

Sad that you can't get the vibe of the game, but cool of you to nevertheless support your bunch of nerds 👍

I just want to express how impressive it is that you're turning out not only great dollar store builds, not only that they're new and innovative techniques, not only making great videos of them, but that you're doing all of this whole handling the Idols of Torment project! Well done, and looking forward to more IOT builds too!

This seems like such a beginner friendly project. I think I’ll try to make this for my first terrain build!!

Adding a hole to the texture roller and then fixing a paint roller handle to it would help with consistent pressure/heat danger! Gonna have to try this for when I build my gaming table!

Many of the rollers are hollow, they're intended to have a core inserted, basically a small kitchen rolling pin. The paint roller handle is a good idea, but when you need to apply force to get an imprint you need to have both ends of the roller connected. Otherwise you get a deeper impression on the side where the handle connects.

Just as an FYI, Green Stuff World sells rolling pins with handles similar to what you describe. Don't know how well they'd hold up if someone was really bearing down on them with a lot of pressure, but they do exist.

I've missed videos like this and the last one. They a really why I started watching this channel and it's been really fun to see them again

This is going to be my next project. I need a 2x2 and 3x3 agnostic battle map for 5 Leagues from the Borderlands. Thanks for this Jeremy.

This will help with a historical diorama I’m planning and making. I’m making a 15mm Agincourt diorama and the tips here will definitely assist me in the creation of this piece. Thank you so much!!

As a cook. I love that this hobby has the flexibility of cooking and not as restricting as baking. Great analogy!

I'm so glad to see a non-sci-fi version of these! I wasn't sure how well it would work with ground texture and such, but it looks way better than I expected, and your instructions are great. Thanks for sharing and continuing to be an inspiration and helper for those of us who are, ah, financially challenged.

This project inspired me to give terrain building a shot, this is my first attempt and your instructions were invaluable in helping me out. Thanks for showing me how easy it is to start this hobby.

Thanks, you and your channel have been a big inspiration for my recent crafting frenzy. When I started crafting, I sort of gave myself a rule to only use leftover pieces of wood, cardboard or foam, or any other would be garbage scrap for that matter. I recently came over my ancient (yes, I guess I can say ancient) transparencies. You, know, the stuff that we used before PowerPoint. I used some as a support for may sewers tiles, allowing for whatever colour or pattern of water depending of what I would use underneath. I also found an old stack of writable CD's. I've used them for magic circles. You can paint them and then scratch the surface and reveal the prismatic glow. I wondered if you had already used that kind of materials. If not, I'd be curious to see what you could come up with. Thanks again!

Can you do something for a water board. For like a pirate game or something where you would need to put in some sort of desert islands

Honestly I've had the best success with a plain blue vinyl mat. You can also get water-pattern sheets and upholstery. That works pretty well but it's thin and playing on it can move it around and bunch it up. Using a textured battle mat is actually visually unpleasant because the bumps make islands and ships sit all cattywampus and then measurements for play are called into question. I *think* you can get patterned vinyl though that looks like water and is totally smooth.

Dude I've been watch you for about a year now, along with catching up with older videos. These dollar store mat builds are def among my favorite of your uploads. Fantastic job and amazing idea! See you on the flip side!

As soon as I saw your sci fi battlemat I was hoping for something like this! You really pulled it off my guy 👌

Your dollar store builds are always my favorites.

Awesome! I've done a couple of battle mats with caulk using a canvas backing instead of eva foam, but the flocked one didn't work out. Will give it another shot using the flock like you did the tea. Cheers!

Absolute inspiration! Finally getting myself off my butt to make my own, after years of playing on plain tables! Thanks for the ideas!

Yay! I was so hoping we would get this continuation of the cool mat!!

I've started making Warhammer battlefield tiles with this and it's great to see you doing it, too. Giving me that push I need to finish my 40k city streets board!

I love this, and I think it's a great guide for doing cheap and effective texture -- which I've been looking for! Thanks for this one!

Absolutely WINNER WINNER! Especially your experimental of "giving it a try" certainly turned out well in my book. Made the grass look muddy, and I like it. :)

Looks great! Using the squares is genius.

Wow... you are incredibly creative and this is an awesome forest floor technique. thanks for posting.

I love seeing these dollar store builds, thanks for new ideas and great presentation!

Love the terrain mat idea! I would love to see more. I really liked the roller idea. Side note, I know the channel is mostly craft, but I would really enjoy watching you play the game you created with guests. Not just like, once or twice. Would be cool to see maybe a monthly game video. Just a thought.

I was shopping for a mat for a while. I finally found one on marketplace but this is so cool! I will need to try this for sure!!! I completely forgot about using tea leaf for basing! Thanks for this great video 😁

Your videos are so useful. I'm very new to the hobby, but between you and John from Witch Craft, I've found that I have a knack for tabletop crafting.

Excellent! I really needed a simple way to make a custom mat! Black Magic Craft to the rescue!

Great vid. One of my favorites. Looks amazing. As always, it's nice to hear your thought process throughout the build! Still the king BMC!

Love the T-shirts. Tea bags! (I usually use tea I don't like) I also use mixed herbs and coffee grounds as part of my flock collection. More great ideas, another very helpful video. Many thanks!

This is EXACTLY what i was hoping for after seeing the scifi board, keep doing your thing man its AMAZING 🍻

This mat turned out so cool!! Very versatile, too. Love your dollar store builds. Thanks for the great content!

This is one of the best starter projects you have, absolutely amazing, you could get so much out of this for so little effort thank you for the awesome video!

I really love this. It's the kind of thing you can easily take with you too! Great idea, I'll have to see if I can get a mat like this in Europe somewhere...

I quite like this, I've never crafted terrain before but I'm very tempted to try making one of these

love the budget saver vids you create BMC keep up the good work!

On my list of To Make Next! Thanks for the great work and video.

Really glad you made this sequel - the heat roller trick is super handy.

this the perfect combination of time, effort, looks, and money I want to spend on a project like this. Will definitely be referencing this video when I upgrade my frostgrave board from a white felt sheet

Nice one. More people need to be making EVA boards. I've been experimenting with these for a years, coming from a Cosplay background. I love the lightweight durable material. Currently making a space saving 8pce modular 3'x6' board using similar techniques to your video. 👍🏻

I thought the sci fi mats were good but this is great! Its simple, its cheap and very approchable. I'm going to have to try this for my own gaming table.

Great video! Using this idea and building a jungle terrain. Thank you for the idea!👍

"It's cooking, not baking" - this was an absolutely perfect description! 10/10 Thank you for making and posting videos!

Very clever idea. Thanks for sharing!

I like that this technique can be used for a wilderness area or presumably any setting.

Super inspirational, amazing work

I watch all your vids because I know you will share your whole process, not just show off your ultimate wins. Keep up the excellent low-budget builds! Though I do prefer the more distinguished word "frugal" when speaking of either my brokeness or my cheapness. ;)

Looks great. I used carpet tiles a couple months back. But this is even better. More flex and no warp it seems!!!! I might switch to this now!!!! Great video killer.

love using the tea - I use *used* coffee grounds and tea bags for types of flocking/gravel

I think that mat looks great! It looks so much better than my old Wet Erase Chessex mat. It also looks like a craft I could do. Thanks man.

Awesome job! This gives me great ideas!

Exactly what im doing this weekend! Winner winner

Another excellent piece and tutorial! Stay enthusiastic!

Loving these budget builds lately!

Because of the last video I started a similar project but with one of the thicker exercises versions of the mat the most similar things I could find near me. With the thicker foam I was able to carve out a nice looking river through the mat with a dremel.

Thank you. Great idea. Grtz from Belgium 👍🏻

With how cheap and plentiful those mats are, you can likely make a few basic environment types and cover most rpg scenarios quite easily if you have the scatter to go with it. This is a great idea, keep up the good work

Love the channel ! Idk if anyone uses this stuff but I have been using sawdust from crappy particle boards mixed with modge podge as moss or grasses Works really well!

Big up on this video. Concerning into the AM shirts, I am 6'6", 230 lbs (tall and thin) and they are wicked comfortable and a large fits me great. Definitely worth getting for tall guys.

Very doable for me. Thanks I might take this route! You might hate this $1 store format, but I think its the best videos you make!

I am thinking of doing this exactly for random encounters/scenes not fully prepared for style encounters, and maybe doing something similar for caves and caverns - I'm wondering if since the thickness is not too bad on the EVA foam floormats, maybe I could combine your Dollar Tree canvas battle board video from a view weeks ago to help get some water effects going in either a cave piece or a similar idea for a larger piece for a wilderness! Maybe could do something involving stacking them very slightly too.... I've got a stack of the "puzzle piece" ones from Harbor Freight, but these dollar store floor mats being one big size of EVA is also very very useful. Thanks again for all you do and share!

thses are great man eva foam i tryed before making mine never thought to heat it up suprising how well it takes the roller ill need to experement more great video man

Thank you for that last line, Jeremy. Great movie.

That was excellent. It looks great and seems easy to do.

I like it. It turned out really cool.

Another fantastic Dollar Store build! You’re really selling me on those matts. I also have some hexes I got from my local Dollar Tree and want to turn into a Star map for my space related games. But, it’s tempting to switch that plan to making some great grasslands with roads instead. Keep ‘em coming!

Great video, as always! Quick question: I am currently running a game in a modern setting, and have found very little in the way of cityscape terrain for RPGs. Was wondering if this was something you'd be interested in trying your hand at, or if other commenters here might have some suggestions?

Nice…I been collecting and making stuff for the Witchlight Carnaval but a nice ground grass textured battle mate would be awesome for it.

Very cool video. An easy project anyone can tackle.

Love it! Another banger vid bro!

Very nice, im going to make this instead of dungeon tiles i think. And I'm going to use this as inspiration to make an Underdark themed mat for my upcoming Out of the Abyss game!

This would be a great addition to the traveling DM (say when you're playing at a bar or whatnot). It's cheap, it's durable, and you don't have to worry too much about getting spills or whatnot on it. Love it.

I absolutely love your work! I really appreciate your efforts to make something so high-quality with basic materials. I have to ask: what is the texture roller at 1:37 called, and where do I find one?

This is awesome. I wonder if clear caulk could be used to make and ocean or beach mat. I may give it a try.

These mats are great! I think the other potential for this type of mat is durable and cheap display boards for any wargame army.

looks great i cant wait to try to make one

This was very cool man. I will be making a larger size for warcry using this. Thanks mate 👍

great little project

This was great. Thank you very much for it. I’ll give it a bash 💪

This was seriously cool!

It looks really great. Might need to make a few myself

love these "back to the beginning" type videos.

Awesome vid dude!!! Do you use the things you make or do they sit on a shelf until maybe needed?

I have never played dnd before but I watch ur videos and they help me with my 1/6 dios

On the question of how long a texture paste mix will last in a sealed container, I've got a couple of batches made nearly two years ago which are still OK. If they start to thicken up, just add in a bit of water. Another thing you can use instead of, or alongside, tea leaves is mixed dried herbs.

Great video, sir. I love it!

❤ the board! could you do a dollar store battlemat like this for idols of torment too? i currently dont have anything that'll fit. i only have 2'x2' big plastic tiles from gw (in my pile of shame) that make up to a 6'x4' board. its bulky and a pain in the butt to move around.

Tbh its amazing. Gonna try it when i have some time

Very cool, lots of techniques to borrow from this video

Looks great!

Great great work. Nice Inspiration

I did one yyyyyeeeeears ago using floor mats. I since then improved a lot my crafting skills (mostly thanks to you... and practice, obviously). I made a big 5x6 board that looks way better but I rarely use it for RPG since it's way too big. In the light of your video, I think I have to get back and make an improved version. Yours looks approximately 7.4 times better than mine 🤣

As always good video. lots of good techniques. wish we had cheap foam here in the states

Just tried this method, it's going to be great for my one shots.

another great build!

New to channel but will continue to follow. I am curious about the texture roller .where did you find it?
