Foam shapes FAQs

What are foam shapes made from?

Our foam shapes are made from polystyrene (sometimes known by the brand name styrofoam), which is a very light but dense foam that can be carved, cut and painted.

What can I do with foam shapes?

Foam shapes are often used in conjunction with other art and craft materials for projects. You can stick them to other surfaces using craft glue or double-sided tape, and colour them using markers or acrylic paint. Pin sequins and paper shapes to them using push pins, or carve them into shapes using a hot wire or sharp box cutter.

How to carve foam shapes

If you want to cut your foam shape or add some carving to it, it's important to use a very sharp knife, box cutter or a hot wire cutter. Heat helps the blade cut through the foam cleanly, so run your knife through a candle flame before using it if possible.

What Else Can I Find At Spotlight?

Other kinds of craft foam you can find here include:

• Foam sheets: Our rectangular foam sheets come in a range of thicknesses and are easy to cut into shape.
