  • Craft foam sheets: These thick foam sheets are easy to cut and make into custom foam shapes, and come in a great range of bright colours.
  • Foam wreaths: Create a special wreath for your next holiday event with one of our foam wreaths as the base! Their white colour makes any paint colours stand out beautifully, and you can use staples, pins and glue to stick on your decorations.
  • Foam heads: If you're creating a custom hat using millinery supplies, then model it on our foam heads to make sure it fits properly! You can also use foam heads to style wigs on, practice face paint or just colour in for fun.

  • Foam tape: Our foam tape can be used to create a sticky binding between two surfaces that is also squishy, protecting both items from contact-based damage.
  • Adhesive foam squares: These small foam squares are usually used for mounting images into walls and are a great way to add depth to any art project.

Craft foam FAQs

What is craft foam?

Craft foam is made from styrofoam, which is a light, buoyant material that is often used as a base shape in craft projects that is then painted or accessorised.


How do I carve craft foam?

Craft foam can be cut with a specialised foam cutter, but if you don't have this then a sharp blade like a bread knife will do the trick. You can also use wire cutters or, for flat craft foam sheets, sharp cookie cutters.


What kind of paint can I use on craft foam?

Use a water-based paint like acrylic paint for craft foam. If you paint straight onto styrofoam you will notice a bumpy texture - if you want to avoid this, create a smooth layer using white paint or gesso before applying your colour. Use a paintbrush rather than spray paint if possible.


What Else Can I Find At Spotlight?

Here are some of the other kinds of craft supplies you can expect to see at Spotlight:
