CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#123) Goodness gracious, great balls of what?

Balls of styrofoam !

Hi Bloggers! Bet that title got you thinking.

Just thought you might be interested in learning how to make your own version of Flower Soft.

You know...that pretty little stuff that adds dimension to your projects. It looks like this:

You can make your own version of the stuff by simply taking mini styrofoam balls & rubbing them together over a large bowl making sure they are completely broken down in their smallest form.

If you want to color your styrofoam use a water based or latex paint. NO solvent paint.

Also, to glue your homemade flower soft you want to be certain you have a styrofoam glue.

This is one of those items that is more cost effective to make. 2 small balls can render a lot for a little money. I do believe you can find styrofoam balls @ the dollar store. One pot of flower soft can cost $8.

It is a neat concept & looks lovely on any project.

Now you can try it for less.

Hope you enjoyed this week's tip.
