Foam core boards are a versatile resource that can be used for scrapbooking and other projects. Setting foam core behind cardstock papers or photos instantly gives your work in progress a pop-out effect you cannot get by simply mounting photos onto cardstock. Foam core boards sustain wetness from paint and glue without warping or otherwise damaging the final project.
Painting Foam Core
Acrylic paint has the fastest drying time among paint mediums. Acrylic paint tubes are also less expensive than other paints and come in vivid colors. You can easily mix paint colors to create custom colors for your foam core projects.
Durability
The thickness of foam core boards can accommodate pinned-on embellishments without ripping or cracking the original board. You can also glue on additional foam core pieces. These elements enhance the final overall appeal of your boards.
Goal Boards
Goal boards in the workplace can be a form of driving motivation. The more colorful and interesting you can make them, the better; foam core can help you achieve this. People are naturally drawn to color, so creating aesthetically pleasing goal boards will inspire your employees to stop to read and then revisit them each time they walk into your shared work space.
Shadowbox Photo Frames
If you are looking to add dimension to your shadowbox photo frame, foam core is your answer. Add a splash of paint onto each foam core piece in a coordinating color before adding photos or cardstock to create a colorful masterpiece.
Fashion Presentations
Foam core boards are ideal for presenting your fashion ideas. You can paint the entire board any color--or a rainbow of colors--to reflect your chosen theme; then add on photos and captions. You will also want to attach your design sketches and as an added bonus, pin on fabric swatches to support your ideas. This will give your audience a concrete tactile experience as you are sharing your ideas that they cannot get by looking at drawn designs alone.
