This month we’re celebrating our bloggers and their creativity. In January 2015 at CHA, bloggers gathered at our CHA Networking Event to meet companies and to work more with us here on FaveCrafts. Each blogger was then sent a box filled with new craft products from the company sponsors. They set out to make projects from these new products and we were blown away by the results. We’re featuring these fantastic projects all month with giveaways so you can make your own versions of their wonderful crafts.

Styrofoam is exciting to use for anything that needs a shape or lightweight yet firm base….. Base for holiday or occasion table decor, decorative cake tops, trim and paint or fabric covered to use as pumpkins or fruit. YaY Styrofoam!
I made Halloween headstones using big sheets of styrofoam. Made a huge mess cutting them out but the neighborhood kids love them.
I love using styrofoam as a base for craft products. I’ve used it to make everything from Christmas Ornaments, to wreaths, to dolls to snowmen. Truly versatile and reasonable priced for crafting.

Hello,

They were beautiful and are well liked.
I used three sizes of cones to hold the crocheted layers of christmas trees in three colors.
I could really use this alot as I do a lot of crafts with the eldrly as well as children who’s families are down and out on their luck.
I have used styrofoam balls to make snowman families for friends since 1975. I knit white “slipcovers” for them, stocking hats, and scarves; sequins make the facial features. Families are duplicated: lg for dad, med for mom, small for children (as many as they have). Some have come back and asked me to make additional small ones after additions to the family. Warms my heart to walk into a friend’s home and find their snowman family on display at Christmas!
I love using styrofoam to make wreaths for all occasions. For Easter I made an Egg Bouquet out of styrofoam. Next I’m making animal shapes with the kids. They love doing projects as much as I do!
I have used them in a number of crafts. One was wrapped with brown string & used with clay pots for a turtles head, christmas tree decorations, I used a large one & painted it then glued gems all over it for a gazing ball for the garden (stuck wire picks in it to stick into the ground so it wouldn’t blow away) as well as kids crafts w/ grandchildren.
Cover with material. Cross-cross with ribbon for a chic bulletin board w/o the tacks. Hang n tuck pics, notes etc in ribbon to hold.
We have used them to make Christmas ornaments, one of my daughter’s favorite crafts.

To be honest I mainly use Styrofoam to hold toothpicks when making rolled jewelry and skewers when creating food centerpieces but am looking to expand my options to use as a main medium.
Years ago on a Martha Stewart show, she showed how to make easy Christmas ornaments using sequins, quilting straight pins, small styrofoam balls, and mini marshmallows. Everyone in my family have multiple sets of these. I also have made them for my co-workers and friends.

What haven’t I used Styrofoam for….wreaths, Christmas trees, ornaments, vases, clown head with recycled ribbon spool base, snowmen, filler for “wallpaper” tea cup pin cushions. Halloween decorations, Easter decorations. The ideas and uses are unlimited. Thanks
I have used Styrofoam in many ways over the years. A few of my favorites is making snowmen with white yarn wrapped around each ball and stacking 3 sizes together. Adding button eyes just completes the cuteness! Another way is using a large block of Styrofoam for birthdays (especially the decades ones) and punching in suckers all over it with a birthday sign. It’s so cheerful!
I usually use these around the holidays and i make snowmen and Santa ornaments with them.
I have turned my Christmas tree into an all year holiday tree….all through crafts. Christmas balls gave way to snowflakes, snowmen and cotton snow. Now, it is adorned with E.aster eggs and bunnies. It will eventually take on a patriotic theme, and a fall theme.
These things would make a great learning craft for the kids at our local teen center. How fun!

I made several harvest scarecrow wreaths using the 12″ round wreath base, a 6″ ball for the head and a 4″ ball for the pumpkin. Plus of course the rest of the material needed to complete the projects. Styrofoam is a great medium since it can be easily cut or molded by pressing on it.
Styrofoam makes a great head for just about anything. And lots of snowmen!
