Ve r s a t i l e F o a m

By Maria Rogers

Foam is such a versatile medium

to use, it can be readily cut to any

shape, comes in a great range of

bright colours, it is chunky giving

a bit of ‘body’ to the designs and

is nice and soft to the touch.

Materials Required:

Mixed foam rubber sheets: FRS20

(may not always contain every

colour used here).

Scissors and a pencil.

Tracing paper and carbon paper.

Happy Birthday sequin.

Fine felt tipped or gel pens: Black, Red, White

and Silver.

Small joggle eyes 5mm: TRM03.

Large joggle eyes 7mm: TRM04.

Backing paper: Gold and Blue.

Double sided tape: ADH13.

Selection of card mounts.

To Make The Cards:

Choose the design you would like to make

and trace the outlines of the pieces from the dia-

gram on the last page (of this article). The dotted

lines and any details within the shape are easiest

drawn onto the piece freehand later, they are

shown on the diagram for guidance only.

Place the trac-

ing paper over the

foam of the rele-

vant colour and

slip the carbon

paper in between

them making sure

the inked side is

facing the foam.

Retrace over the

outlines to transfer

them, the inked

side will be the

back of the piece

so any lines left

after cutting will

not show on the

front of the work.

Cut out the pieces and draw in any details

using the diagram as a guide. The dotted lines

mostly just follow the outline of the shape, try to

keep the ‘dashes’ fairly even for a neater look.

The writing on the cards can usually be added

before or after sticking the shapes on, except

where the shapes overlap it, in which case it has

to be done first. If using aperture cards, mount

the background into the card and stick the card

closed before adding the foam pieces.

Use double sided tape to attach the pieces to

the cards and to each other. Build up the designs

using the photos to guide you and overlapping

the pieces as necessary.
