Hate auto correct. Should be roll the tape with the sticky side up and fasten with a bit of ca glue.

Spread tape out on a flat surface sticky side up and sprinkle the twine cuttings to the tape. Cologne tape sticky side out. And fasten the end with a touch of carpet glue. I have some yellow twine and green twine mixed to get a more realistic color.

–
Otherwise. possibly cotton threads of a suitable colour, tied with strands of hair, or stuck together with tiny touches of thin glue.
–
But if you have a friend with straw-coloured hair, he may feel quite honoured to be able to make a small contribution to your layout scenery !

With scissors, cut a whole bunch of very short pieces, ( a quarter inch or smaller )… off the brush. Make small piles and drip some scenery cement over them and shape them while wet… Next morning, they had dried and could be shaped as you need them with nail clippers…Worked very nicely for me…

For rectangular ones, maybe use square dowel cut to size, coated with craft glue & coated with sawdust and/or static grass.
