After seeing the DM's Craft videos showing wall of thorns, spike tentacles, and assassin vine, decided to combine concepts. I made a stand-up card like in the video, but then added the hot glue for the tangle of vines (like assassin vine video) and then added toothpick tips (like tentacles video) for the thorns all around pointing in all different directions. Here is the photo. Wall of Thorns

The wall of thorns got me thinking about walls of fire. I think you could cut out a wall piece with wavy flame shapes, then use hot glue to create more flame shapes on both sides. It could then be primered, and painted up as flames. Simple and easy if you don't own a foam cutter.
Another option for a wall of thorns might be to use wire, yarn, or cording for the vines as well.

If you do have a foam cutter, you can do something like this: WIP pictures i.imgur.com/DyUDT65.jpgi.imgur.com/zqsp0Hm.jpgi.imgur.com/i2lrvOC.jpgThe end result: i.imgur.com/eeH5obz.jpgA different variant, more in line with the 2.5D philosophy, would be using modeling paste, stippled on whatever you want to use as base. Scotty has done a turorial on flame balls, but it works also on flat surfaces like lollypop sticks which are ideal for flame walls.

I cut along the edges of the square as if I would want to bisect it to 1,5 cm thickness, but I made the cuts not very deep. Then I broke the piece in two (i.e. ripped it apart along the cuts), which left me with two halves that were wonderfully irregular in the middle. I painted the edges black and experimented with different fire color schemes, without finding something I liked enough to continue... Maybe I'll try it again somewhere down the road (I still have this polystyrene pillar...), but at the moment I have too many other projects waiting. i.imgur.com/Fy7QiJ4.jpgi.imgur.com/0LJYRJV.jpg...so much for fire. Sorry for derailing the thread!
