Product Description
Craft Foam is a blank canvas for any arts & crafts project
All water-based paints, glues, and coatings may be used. Polystyrene may be painted and coated for either a finishing or protecting effect. May be coated with paints, glitters, paper mache, plaster of Paris and more. Caution - Petroleum-based paints and glues will melt polystyrene.
With a bit of paint and some creative imagination, the sky is the limit.
Multiple pieces can be adhered together to create large scenes
Whether your project is a large scene or a smaller school project, pieces can be shaped and glued together with hot glue, Elmer's glue, Mod Podge, or any non-solvent-based glue to create more dimension and texture. As a general rule, if your glue or coating has strong fumes, it is a solvent base and will likely melt your foam and not provide optimal results.
Rigid yet, lightweight.
Polystyrene is a firm, rigid foam that can support great amounts of weight, yet remains light and easy to transport and work with.
Gaming and Diorama uses.
With some simple tools, such as soldering irons, hot knives, and wood-burning tools, textures can be melted into your polystyrene to create realistic textures. Many customers use our foam for creating small-scale sets for action figures or game play as well as model railroading and architectural models.
1 pound density polystyrene is strong enough to support significant weight.
A common question we receive is "how much weight will polystyrene support?"
Polystyrene provides excellent strength and is commonly used underneath highways and in heavy construction. It will show visible dents, but can support the weight of a human without crushing or breaking. For added durability, there are numerous foam coatings ranging from concrete, Dryvit, plaster of paris, specialty foam coatings, latex paint, etc. that will create a hardened shell on your foam which can withstand many years of repeated use.
The foam in this listing is 1lb per cubic foot density.
Great for CakePops and other organization.
Items can be inserted into the foam for display or organization. Because of its light weight and ease of use, EPS polystyrene is commonly used for display projects such as centerpieces, retail displays and even entomology and butterfly collections. EPS foam is cost-effective and has a clean, white appearance, which makes it perfect for many crafting and display projects.
Inexpensive and Lightweight product for display and riser material.
Polystyrene provides a rigid, yet protective support for items such as gift baskets, school projects, model railroad terrain and many other items that require a height adjustment for optimal display.
Proudly manufactured in the United States of America.

I purchased some large planter pots for my front patio to spruce it up. I did not want to plant live plants in them as I'm pretty good at killing plants, so I also purchased some artificial grasses in small plastic pots. The little plastic pots do not stand up straight in the bigger planters and I needed something to fill in the space. I saw these foam blocks thought they might work and they did. I just cut them in half to fit around the inside as needed, they are very sturdy worked well, I put some spanish moss around the top to hide the inside and everything looks beautiful and is holding up well.

I purchased this foam for my Christmas village and it was the right size for my side walks. The photo is of the finished sidewalk that gave just a bit of height from the cobblestone street. It was easy to cut and lightweight and adhered well with school glue.

I use and have used this material in working on scale model aircraft. It's useful in making dioramas, but shaping and cutting tends to be a pain because it shreds and distorts so easily. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer the thicker (blue) insulation -- much easier to cut and shape.

My project with this foam is half done so I can't fairly rate it yet. I measured and cut the foam for outdoor use, with plastic flowers. Some of the foam pieces were dented and deformed a little, which didn't matter to my project but also why just 4 stars. The foam was easy to work with.
