The finished product is a picture that looks like a quilt that you would hang on the wall.
My mom and I are interested in trying this, but we didn't buy the supplies that day. I took a flier from the booth but I have misplaced it, and it had the website to visit to buy the supplies. Does anyone know what this is? I know my explanation is lacking!! I don't know if this type of project has a name or not. Thank You!!! Margie |
OOOPSSSSSSS just read the rest of the thread and someone else mentioned the same thing..sorry

I agree, that is a good idea. I have all the tools, I would just need the foam. I don't know why I didn't think of it. Thank you for the tips!

Up North - that's the type ornament I meant. The scrap of fabric was laid on the styrofoam shape and the edges pushed in to the foam.
I have made a 'pinetree' using 1" squares of a variety of green fabrics, and then pushing the center of the square into the foam. It was a cone shape and it was entirely covered except for the base. We then put the base into a small terracotta flower pot. I know this doesn't have anything to do with the original question but I thought someone be interested! |
12 x 12 decoration. but it doesn't sound like leona is looking for a kit. it sounds like she is looking for the supplies. just the foamboard, the pushy-downy tool and the cutter. leona.... is this correct? if yes, go to any craft store for those supplies. invent or trace any quilt design you like in any size. you are not restricted to 12 x 12. use the pushy tool to score the foam on the lines. cover the surfaces with the fabric you like and push the fabric into the lines with the pushy tool. when you do the background, use a piece big enough to wrap right around the side edges of the foam and you won't even need a frame (the most expensive part). on the back side, scoop out a little foam where it will hang on a nail. i think you just saved $35.00+. send us a photo. |
Wow you could do that for far less! Just improvise!

I just posted the site because ladies wanted to know what they were. I fell in love with them when I seen them, but I also wouldn't pay the price for them. The lady at the shop where I seen them said you could also buy the foam design only and use your own material and a plain table knife or rounded putty knife. I thought the foams alone were pricey as well. They are beautiful though. The shop had several made up and on display. Christine |
i'm sorry. i didn't mean to sound snippy.
i know how you meant it. i was just telling leona that she doesn't need to spend all that money for something she can probably do herself. the site has a lot to offer, though, and i can see how the method would be attractive. :oops: :oops: :oops: that's me apologizing if i made you feel bad. |
Does anybody know how think the foam is that is used for this project, if you wanted to just buy the foam?
