foxtrapper,a very simple way would be to cut out a piece of plywood to desired shape then mix elmers glue and water about 2parts glue 1part water then mix in potting soil to make mud then spread it on the plywood let this dry and hot glue some moss and leaves    this is very basic but will get you started
