Thread: styrofoam

Tweet

I would like to find a few more uses for the styrofoam. Its pliable, glues well with foamboard glue, and paints ok. I was going to use it for rocks, but it took to much glue to glue them all together. I have alot of 11X9 inch pieces. I still have some of the bigger squares,

I get it free from work. If you have any ideas let me know.
I have a lot, so if you need some just let me know i will send you some, just pay shipping charge.

I have made a potion book, a few locks,one rock, and I am using for parts of my Jaberwocky. I used them as spider specimen display boxes. I even used them for part of my reaper gift.

I always build tombstones with the foam and they turn out great! I've made cemetery gates, a few creepy doors, and even a static guillotine with the styrofoam as well.

Of course, they all will look cool in the dark with some lighting. I'll also touch them up with some more paint with a brush to give them a creepier look.

There really are tons of things to build with the foam...I get lots of ideas just from looking on Spirit's website and other sites. When you want to build 3D stuff, though, the foam gets harder to use! Hope this helps a little!

Glue a few sheets together, get out your Jigsaw, or whatever took you use for shaping and cutting, and have at it

I second that! There are somany things that can be done with this stuff! Good luck choosing a design and construction!

you could possibly make yourself a giant cube of styrofoam and carve out a big prop. maybe a gargoyle or just keep stacking and make yourself a pair of cemetery columnes.
