Where to get pink styrafoam
« on: February 03, 2013, 12:43:20 PM »
I am looking for that pink semi-solid stuff I've seen in tutorials in making furniture for dolls. I just don't have a clue where to buy it or get it for free. If you don't know what I am talking about I can post a video.

Not sure exactly what you mean - I've seen people use foam core that you can get at most craft stores or regular styrofoam from various boxes that had fragile things in them. Does it have to be pink?

Good luck :)

The only time I've seen it colored is in packaging form. Like the little figure 8 shape noodle thingies. I'd like to know if it is available, my shelf risers would look so much prettier in pink  :biggrin:

You might want to visit your area builder's store for blue or pink Styrofoam that they use for insulation.

I work at a craft store and I've never seen pink styrofoam and we definately do not carry it. Elmer's website does have some pink foam core. Or you could always buy regular white styrofoam and spray paint it pink ^.^ I've spray painted styrofoam before and it worked great.

Edit: Here's a site I found that sells sheets of different colored foam. They have pink.

Maybe I was just thinking it was pink, white would work too! I was gonna cover it with cloth so color doesn't matter. Thank you for reminding me about craft stores.

Lowes and Home Depot both carry it, and you can get hot knives or styrofoam cutters from hobby lobby that cut into it like butter!
