Description

Craft Foam for arts and craftsCraft Foam for arts and crafts

Craft Foam is a blank canvas for any arts & crafts project

All water-based paints, glues, and coatings may be used. Polystyrene may be painted and coated for either a finishing or protecting effect. May be coated with paints, glitters, paper mache, plaster of Paris and more. Caution - Petroleum-based paints and glues will melt polystyrene.

RECOMMENDED CUTTING TECHNIQUES FOR EPS EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE FOAM

While Expanded Polystyrene (eps) foam can be cut with a knife or saw, these methods will create shedding or messy dust. For precision shaping with clean lines, it is best to shape with a hot wire tool of some kind that melts a clean and smooth edge to your project. Simply draw out your design and follow with the hot wire tool. These cutting tools are readily available on Amazon under the search term, Hot Wire Cutter.

Cut pieces can be stacked to create incredible 3-dimensional designs and Diorama sets.

With a bit of paint and some creative imagination, the sky is the limit.

Multiple pieces can be adhered together to create large scenes

Whether your project is a large scene or a smaller school project, pieces can be shaped and glued together with hot glue, Elmers glue, Mod Podge, or any non-solvent-based glue to create more dimension and texture. As a general rule, if your glue or coating has strong fumes, it is a solvent base and will likely melt your foam and not provide optimal results.

Rigid yet, lightweight.

Polystyrene is a firm, rigid foam that can support great amounts of weight, yet remains light and easy to transport and work with.

Gaming and Diorama uses.

With some simple tools, such as soldering irons, hot knives, and wood-burning tools, textures can be melted into your polystyrene to create realistic textures.

Strong enough to support a full grown humanStrong enough to support a full grown human

1 pound density polystyrene is strong enough to support significant weight.

A common question we receive is "how much weight will polystyrene support?"

Polystyrene provides excellent strength and is commonly used underneath highways and in heavy construction. It will show visible dents, but can support the weight of a human without crushing or breaking. For added durability, there are numerous foam coatings ranging from concrete, Dryvit, plaster of paris, specialty foam coatings, latex paint, etc. that will create a hardened shell on your foam which can withstand many years of repeated use.

The foam in this listing is 1lb per cubic foot density.
