FAQs
How many different shapes are included?
The pack includes assorted shapes, primarily circles, in two different sizes (approximately 19 mm and 29 mm diameter). Specific design variety may vary by pack.
Do I need to use glue with these shapes?
No, each shape comes with a self-adhesive peel-and-stick backing, so no additional glue is required.
Are these foam shapes waterproof?
The EVA foam material is generally water-resistant, but the adhesive backing is not waterproof. They are not recommended for use in wet environments or applications where they will be submerged.
Can these be used on fabric?
While they might temporarily stick to some fabrics, the adhesive is designed for smoother surfaces like paper and cardstock. For permanent fabric adhesion, fabric glue would be necessary.
What is the recommended age for using these?
These shapes are ideal for children aged 3 and up due to their easy-to-use, mess-free nature, under adult supervision.
Can I paint or draw on these foam shapes?
You can draw on them with permanent markers. Painting may be challenging due to the glitter surface, and paint might crack or not adhere well. Testing in an inconspicuous area is advised.
How should I store the unused foam shapes?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a resealable bag to keep the adhesive effective and protect them from dust.
Troubleshooting
Shape not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Press the shape firmly for at least 10 seconds. For very porous surfaces, consider using a craft glue in addition to the adhesive.
Glitter shedding excessively
This is normal for glitter products to a small degree. If significant shedding occurs, avoid rough handling. You can apply a clear sealant spray over the finished project for extra protection, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Foam shape feels brittle or tears
Handle the shapes gently, especially when peeling them from the backing or pressing them down. The foam is soft and lightweight, designed for ease of use rather than extreme durability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These foam shapes require no setup. Simply peel the protective backing off the adhesive side of each shape and press it firmly onto your desired surface.
Compatibility: The shapes adhere well to most clean, dry, and smooth surfaces, including paper, cardstock, plastic, and painted wood. They are not recommended for fabrics, rough textures, or surfaces exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures, as the adhesive may not hold effectively.
Care: To maintain the adhesive's effectiveness, store the shapes in their original packaging or a sealed container away from dust and moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesive over time. If a shape becomes dusty, a gentle wipe with a dry, soft cloth is recommended; avoid using water or cleaning agents.
