So glad you enjoyed the video. I'm all for finding a less expensive way of using items without buying the same thing with a fancy new name. Hope you have fun!
my eyes fell on some of the kids toy tiles (foam puzzle stuff).. paused your video, took my hairdryer and some dried lavender.. WOW! this is incredible!
Now, I have a tip for you (I've been posting it here to other folks I thought might be interested. Yesterday, at Joanne, I bought a package of "Text-UR Foam". It contained two sheets each of six different deeply embossed patterns. When I got it home, I experimented with using them as stamps. They're terrific! Look in the kids' craft supplies section, where they have sticky-back foam, foam stickers, and so on. And, by the way, very inexpensive--I think it was around $6.
I just stumbled across your video and I wanted to say that you demonstrated it beautifully. I'm going shopping tomorrow and I am definitely picking up some foam!
absolutely blown away - you are an angel for showing this - I'm going to make a bunch just as fast as I get some craft foam pieces- great video - clear and informational!!
I was interested in the original name brand way back when it first came out years ago but never found it. Love that I can make my own so cheaply. Thanks for figuring this out and showing us it works.
Like! have to try! thanks for the video...I like it that you can use the Foam over and over, saves money...I know I've got alot of things around here that I can use...Got to go get some foam now...lol Thanks Donna
This is a great idea! But, can you tell me what kind of foam, like maybe the number or the main ingredient? I live in Europe and so can't get the cheap letters you are using. Thank you.
Hi,how do I make these stamps,as I only have sheet foam,and No hairdryer,,,as I really want to try this,,,for making polymers jewellery pendents!!! thankyou for your video,I was unable to leave a comment on another section of this subject,before I realised it could be done with foam, any info very welcome on this subject,as they all look very beautiful🌈👍
I'm really not sure how well the foam sheet would work. I imagine you'd have to have very thick sheet as it would need to leave an impression. I don't use a hairdryer, although I image one would work if it got hot enough. I use a heat gun. Good luck with your projects.
hi there, are the heat guns expensive,,I've heard of magic foam,where i think it has to be heated,with the impresion to be made, not sure on that though,
Hi. Magic foam is the more expensive stuff. What I use is simply "fun foam", found at almost any craft store. I simply cut it to the size I want. Heat guns are less expensive than most hair dryers...and much hotter. Craft store heat guns can be about $10. Good luck.

Just saw this comment and it made me giggle.
Glad you had fun. Hope the kids didn't find out...lol
U can use a blow dryer? I thought you had to have a heat gun ?

Totally ingenious!
Useful technique!
This is a great idea! But, can you tell me what kind of foam, like maybe the number or the main ingredient? I live in Europe and so can't get the cheap letters you are using. Thank you.
the other kind of foam I have used is the smooth side of the kneeling foam things that you get to work in your garden or mop the floor.
Great ideas! Can I use just the hair dryer instead of the heat gun?
really cool and useful love it !
Wow, this is so cool, love it. tfs

You are a genius! Hahahaha The only thing is I don't have a heat gun...oh man. I don't know whether or not a hair dryer is not enough.
sweetpuppy120489 Yes the hair dryer on high would get hot enough. I use my hair dryer to emboss.
Sorry not to have gotten back here. Yes...some hairdryers are plenty hot. Hope it worked for you.
omg I love it tyfs
Oh, and by the way, it's "punchinella".
Which is the waste product left from making sequins. Interesting, eh?
