/p> If you haven't been to the craft store in a while, or even takena quick visit through the craft section of your super center,then you may not have noticed the explosion of foam and the funyou can have with it. With the colors of the rainbow, and everycolor in-between, you can make anything from decorative framesand signs to landscapes of animals and flowers. Thepossibilities are endless.
The best way to get started is to browse through the section atthe store where the foam crafts are located. You will find largesheets of foam, craft and projects buckets, and even large tubsof various themed foamies to help you create that perfectproject with your child! You can even manage to purchase foamiesthat have sticky backs so you can do your projects without anyglue, so these projects can be clean and easy to clean up. Since Foamies come in all different shapes, colors and sizes,you will want to pick a theme before you make your foam craftpurchase. Choose from holiday themes, animals, sports, projectsthat involve decorating frames or door hangers, or to simplymake a landscape with various shapes or objects. If you areplanning for one to three children doing the craft, you caneasily spend less than $10, however if you plan on doing craftsfor a group like scouts or play dates, you may want to look intogetting a "Tub o' Foamies" that have sticky backs. These tubsusually have several different shapes and objects. The tuballows many to have lots of fun! (Article continued below)
When beginning your project, be sure to keep in mind thatlayering your pieces to create objects like houses and flowerswill add depth and interest into your project. The fun withfoamies isn't just the color and design, but in how your artwork becomes three-dimensional. If you don't have many foamiesto work with, you can simply print out a picture of the sky, alake, forest or desert on card stock. The foamies stickperfectly to paper products. You can use image search engines(ex. Google Images) to look for pictures to print by using thesearch word "landscapes."
