Love your video style & also your music - so relaxing & retro. Can’t wait to make these fun hearts! Your techniques were so helpful (mistakes & all) ~ I think I can do it!

[@makewithblake]

Aww Thank you! You totally can!

[@JudiChristopher]

WOW... Fantastic Video... EXCELLENT... I so want to do this for my Students... How much do you think this cost your... Approximately ? Thank YOU so much for sharing this great video... "BRAVO"

[@makewithblake]

Thank you! I ended up making more for a friend after this batch and realized that I could get 12 hearts exactly like these from one sheet of 1 inch foam. (Thats with three layers for each heart!) The drylok was ~$25, the foam was ~$25 and the paint maybe $10 more? So i think $65-75 would do it but thats not considering the hot glue, I bought the rasp, etc. I didn't think about it but I should start including a cost breakdown in videos like this in the future!

[@JudiChristopher]

@@makewithblake EXCELLENT Idea... Yes... Cost Breakdown and How long it took you to do it.. Your TIME is worth Money too. Are the "Sheets" 4' x 8' Foam Boards?

[@kayanahminiature505]

Good job! ;) Missed watching you work. You were very motivated. ;)

[@makewithblake]

Thanks! Yeah, once I started on these I knew I wanted to make a bunch to have scattered around!

[@JudiChristopher]

You used just normal PINK Foam Board? Right?

[@makewithblake]

Correct!

[@JudiChristopher]

@@makewithblake EXCELLENT... I thought I would have to special order it... Thank you

[@MsHoneyloop]

What did you use to glue the foam together?

[@makewithblake]

Just hot glue! I've got an old glue gun though so I don't know if that helped the glue from getting too hot

Where can I buy the machine you used to carve the letters?! Ty in advance

[@makewithblake]

I just used a regular rotary tool- mine is the brand Dremel! They have them at most home improvement stores, crafts stores, and even walmart sells them!

Just try a piece of styrofoam and save so much hassle,my dude.
