I make a lot of costumes, and it's a cheap, lightweight way to make armour and accessories.<br /><br />However, before painting it, you need to seal it with something, or it will just absorb the colour, and unevenly at that (as you noticed :3 ). Mod podge or white glue are both fine for this purpose. Keep in mind that if you need to bend the foam AFTER sealing it, for some reason, you may have flaking, so choose your sealer wisely, and try to do any and all foam shaping before sealing and painting the project.<br /><br />Hope this helps my fellow crafters :DTrienehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00362713519716713335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-18940705153005713692012-09-19T12:53:14.082-06:002012-09-19T12:53:14.082-06:00My first instinct on this when you said they didn&...My first instinct on this when you said they didn't have the right size embroidery hoop was either buy a hula hoop (they have them at the dollar store by my house for kids, so they're about 36" wide) or to buy some thin, flexible wood pieces from a hardware store and bend it into a circle to form a hoop. I think there are so many options for crafting with items from the hardware store!lil_rag_dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567700266252112720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-61171937590986040462012-06-30T07:22:32.576-06:002012-06-30T07:22:32.576-06:00FYI: Every time I go to the thrift shop I see embr...FYI: Every time I go to the thrift shop I see embroidery hoops of all shapes and sizes--even the super-large ones!Amyhttp://www.morningstararts.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-25525087311570064772012-03-21T10:21:33.262-06:002012-03-21T10:21:33.262-06:00I'm so glad he likes them!
