FAQs
Are these foam shapes acid-free?
The product description does not specify if the foam shapes are acid-free. For archival scrapbooking projects, it is recommended to test on a small area or use them on less critical components.
How do I remove them if I change my mind?
Removal may leave residue. Gently try to peel them off. If residue remains, craft adhesive removers or a slightly damp cloth might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I paint or decorate the foam shapes further?
Yes, foam can typically be decorated with acrylic paints, markers, or glitter. It's advisable to test your chosen medium on a small, inconspicuous part of a foam shape first.
What is the size of the foam shapes?
The product description does not specify exact dimensions, but they are generally suitable for card making and scrapbooking embellishments, implying a range of smaller decorative sizes.
Are these suitable for children's crafts?
Yes, the self-adhesive nature makes them easy and safe for children to use in supervised craft activities. Ensure children do not ingest the small parts.
How many foam shapes are in a tub?
The exact count is not provided, but the product is described as a 'Tub,' indicating a generous quantity for multiple projects.
Troubleshooting
Foam shape not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth before application. Press the foam shape down firmly for at least 10 seconds. For less porous surfaces, consider using a craft glue suitable for foam.
Adhesive has lost its stickiness
This can happen over time or if exposed to dust. Ensure storage is in a sealed container. If the adhesive is compromised, you may need to add a dab of craft glue.
Foam shape is damaged
Handle the foam shapes gently. If a shape is creased or torn, it may still be usable for certain distressed or layered effects, or it can be set aside for projects where minor imperfections are acceptable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. Simply peel the backing off each foam shape and press it firmly onto your desired surface.
Compatibility: These foam shapes are compatible with most paper crafts, including scrapbooking, card making, collage, and general art projects. They adhere best to clean, dry, and non-porous surfaces. Avoid applying to dusty, oily, wet, or excessively textured surfaces where the adhesive may not make proper contact.
Care: Store the tub in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the adhesive's effectiveness and prevent the foam from degrading. Ensure the lid is securely closed when not in use. Clean any dust from the foam shapes gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary, being careful not to damage the material or its adhesive.
