Styrofoam is a different creative development, which in recent years is experiencing a renaissance. Whether you work with it yourself or want to be creative with your children or grandchildren, we have a large selection of styrofoam in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Take a moment and let yourself be inspired for new creative ideas here on our website.

What is styrofoam?

Styrofoam is a different hobby material to work with because it is such an easy material to work with. Styrofoam figures are created with the material also known as polystyrene, which is then moulded. It consists of only 2% polystyrene plastic and the rest is 98% air. All shapes are cut in such a way, that there are no edges in the figures. In addition, on most shapes, small lines have been made, so it's easier to divide the shapes into several pieces. With these pieces, you can make measurements for fabric and ribbon cuts, making it easier to attach them more precisely and you'll get a more beautiful look if you combine more fabrics and ribbons or use different materials on the styrofoam figurine.

Styrofoam provide a wealth of creative opportunities

The lightweight material offers many possibilities for creative ideas. It is also obvious to use with other materials. For several years, it has been popular to dress styrofoam figures with fabrics in different patterns and colours, preferably attached with needles to make homemade decorations for interior design. But creative enthusiasts also see other possibilities with the light material.

With the different shapes of styrofoam, you can also create funny characters or dolls, which can be a different kind of decoration for your house. Children can help create the dolls either by helping to paint them with acrylic paint or by helping to put them together, put beads on their eyes or help model different accessories for the characters. Whether you are creating small figurines of people or fantasy creatures, styrofoam allows you to enjoy several hours of immersion and creativity. When you have finished designing and creating your characters, you will have just as much fun playing with, if you are not creating it just for the purpose of decoration, or plan on giving it away as a gift. This material is also great if you want to create a doll theatre for your kids as Styrofoam is durable and gives the dolls a long life.

Styrofoam - easy to combine with other hobby materials

Polystyrene can be combined with other various craft materials. This applies to everything from model wax to acrylic paint, gypsum gauze, sequins, fabric and ribbons. It is easy to attach the different materials to the styrofoam. You can use different types of glue, whether it's a glue stick, a glue gun or needles. If you mostly use fabrics, sequins and ribbons, it is most obvious to attach the different parts with needles. Paint or gypsum gauze binds naturally to styrofoam, while beads, bamboo sticks or goblets can be glued to the styrofoam.

It may also be that you prefer the more classic way of decorating styrofoam figures with fabrics, ribbons, pearls and sequins. Here you also have the opportunity to make ornaments and DIY projects. The homemade decorations you are creating can be used around your house either for the whole year or can be used to decorate your house for a special holiday, such as Easter or Christmas. Different seasons allow you to use different shapes and figures, for instance, you can use hearts, stars or drums to make different Christmas decorations, which you can either hang around your house, or you can also use them for your Christmas tree and hang your decorations on the branches, or you can hang your new creations for display in your windows.

It may also be that you want to make a wreath. For this project, you can put together different pieces of fabric that you have lying around the house and have no use for, with the different patterns you can create any combination that you want to, not just in patterns but also in different colour combinations. You can use all kinds of fabrics of different quality such as cotton, silk or linen.
