FAQs
Are these foam shapes safe for young children?
Yes, the material is safe. However, due to the small size of the shapes, adult supervision is recommended for children under 3 years old to prevent choking hazards.
Do I need to use glue with these shapes?
No, these shapes are self-adhesive. You can simply peel off the backing and stick them directly onto your project. Glue is optional for added security on certain surfaces.
What kind of surfaces can I stick these shapes to?
They adhere well to paper, cardstock, cardboard, and other smooth craft surfaces. They may also stick to plastic, painted wood, and fabric, though adhesion may vary.
How many different shapes are included?
The pack contains 100 assorted glitter foam shapes in varying designs and approximately two different sizes (19 mm and 29 mm in diameter).
Will the glitter rub off easily?
There may be some minimal glitter shedding upon handling, which is typical for glitter products. Once applied, the glitter generally stays put, especially on smooth surfaces.
Can these foam shapes be used outdoors?
These foam shapes are best suited for indoor craft projects. Exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight may degrade the adhesive and the foam material.
How should I store the foam shapes?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original packaging or a sealed container will help maintain their adhesive quality and prevent dust accumulation.
Troubleshooting
Shapes not sticking well
Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Press down firmly on the shape for at least 10 seconds. For challenging surfaces, consider using a small amount of craft glue.
Glitter shedding
This is normal for glitter products. Handle gently. If excessive shedding occurs, a light spray of clear craft sealant (allow to dry completely) can help minimize it, though it may affect the glitter's shine.
Shapes losing their shape or flattening
Store shapes flat in their original packaging or a suitable container. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These foam shapes require no setup. Simply remove them from the packaging and they are ready for use.
Compatibility: The self-adhesive backing is designed to adhere well to most paper products, including cardstock, construction paper, and scrapbooking paper. They can also be applied to smooth surfaces like plastic, finished wood, and fabric. For best results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or oils.
Care: Store the foam shapes in their original packaging or a sealed container to protect them from dust and moisture. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain the integrity of the foam and adhesive. If a shape becomes less sticky over time, try gently wiping the adhesive area with a dry cloth; however, reapplication of adhesive is not recommended. Clean any accidental smudges on the shapes with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture.
