This is so simple. Yet amazing work. I got to watch this video before it dropped on KZbin. Steve always impresses me with his painting. Turns foam into real life looking flowers.

Thank You! Again it's these simple build that I hope inspire people to try a new craft and jump into the cosplay community!

Valentine’s Day for Foamcrafters lol! This is so cool

[@SKSProps]

Heck yeah! You don’t have to throw them out after a few days 👍

Perfect, thanks, was looking for some roses for an Alice in Wonderland Escape Room decor and prop theme. Thanks so much for the free template, I want red and white ones, obviously, so actually going to cut them from cheap precoloured foam I found at a local cheap Chinese crap (CCC) store here in Melbourne, Australia. My plan is to cover a 50cm beach ball to make a topiary look tree so only need a handful of flowers, yet to decide what to do to cover the beach ball otherwise. As I want to be able to pack these props away to change out themes occasionally I plan to put little velcro dots all over the beach balls and in the back of each flower and possibly leaf groupings. Haven't used my heat gun on foam yet, so will see how good I can get them with your tutorial help, currently summer here so will be working outside in addition to mask.

I've been trying to find the perfect flower tutorial, thank you! I'm hoping to make a giant flower staff with this!

[@SKSProps]

That's great! Glad I could help 🙌

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

I had no idea that you could paint foam...youre definately telling me lots of valuable info that I never had before!

[@SKSProps]

Just make sure it’s a flexible paint like acrylics. Spray paints will crack

[@cianafudzie24]

I’m gonna try this. I’m just starting cosplay❤️

Thank you very much!

[@KrazeeKraftZ]

Rewatching to ensure I'm about to score on the correct side, you say backside but then it appears to be the top or inside???

[@SKSProps]

Doens't really matter if it above or below it just helps break the surface tension of the petal so it bends better

[@karenritter2574]

How cool

[@SKSProps]

Thanks!

Do you send your hd foam to México? By the way your videos are awesome

[@SKSProps]

First off Thanks! All of my products are sold and shipped through Blick Art Materials. I know that they do ship to Mexico but you’d have to check with them on the costs 👍

[@rmoosepig]

I looked in the materials list and I didn’t see the glue gun you used. Do you have a link to it? Is the detail tip an add-on/additional purchase?

[@SKSProps]

Here ya go bit.ly/3rLP7TW the tip is attached but it looks like it has been popular so it's out of stock right now

[@rmoosepig]

[@OperationSpider]

do you not seal your foam?

[@SKSProps]

Depends on the application. I always lightly heat seal the foam but for something like this heavy body acrylics are prefect. My HD-Foam is a much higher density than most so it’s not near as porous. The whole reason you seal less dense foam is to keep the foam from soaking up to much paint but that doesn’t happen with my higher quality HD-Foam. And these small accessories are not going to receive additional wear and tear like a prop or costume.
