    I have a lot of leftover foam bits. They are too small to make tombstones out of and I would hate to throw them away. Need suggestions on what to do with them. the largest is 6 inches high. there are also some long thin pieces as well.

    Pink/blue or white foam? I have a tub of both and use them to create tombstone accents. Obviously the pink/blue foam is better for detailed pieces.
    I also use scrap pieces to experiment with certain carving techniques and Dremel bits.

    I am the same way...I hate throwing pieces out. I have used them for wedges in between wood, pieces for other props that needed a gap filler. I just put them in a bag and save them till the occasion calls.

    I never throw those out either... I just used a bunch of them to make a stone frame around the Magic Mirror oval I cut into my haunt door. Painting them up now.

    If it turns foam into stone! Maybe this is the mirror some people looked into to get their skin to look like that?

    I do the same thing. I've used them for other craft projects too.

    Best thing is experimenting with techniques, tho so you don't ruin a big piece.

    hasn't been mentioned yet SO if you have many doors or cupboards or anything like that in your haunt you could make a bunch of different padlocks with it.
