Full details
This guide is for DIY craft lovers, teachers, and hobbyists seeking an easy-to-use, versatile material for creative projects. The key benefit is the self-adhesive backing and easy-to-cut nature, allowing for quick and mess-free crafting. A potential caveat is that the 2mm thickness may be too thin for very structural applications. These A4-sized, dark blue EVA foam sheets offer a soft, flexible texture ideal for card making, scrapbooking, school projects, and decorations, featuring a peel-and-stick adhesive for instant application and durability against bending and tearing.

FAQs
What is the thickness of these foam sheets?
The EVA foam sheets are 2mm thick.
Can I use these foam sheets with a hot glue gun?
While the sheets have a self-adhesive backing, you can use craft glue or hot glue for added security or to adhere them to surfaces where the self-adhesive may not be sufficient. Test on a scrap piece first.
Are these sheets waterproof?
The foam itself has some water resistance, but the adhesive backing may lose its stickiness if exposed to excessive moisture.
What size are the foam sheets?
Each sheet is A4 size, measuring approximately 21cm x 30cm.
How many sheets are included in a pack?
A pack contains 10 sheets of dark blue EVA foam.
Can I cut complex shapes with these sheets?
Yes, the material is designed to be easily cut with scissors, craft knives, or punches, allowing for complex shapes and designs.
What is the best way to store the foam sheets?
Store them flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the adhesive and the material's condition.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive is not sticking well.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or oils. Press firmly onto the desired surface for at least 30 seconds.
Foam sheets are difficult to cut cleanly.
Use a sharp craft knife or precision scissors. For intricate cuts, a cutting mat and a steady hand are recommended. Consider using a punching tool for clean shapes.
Foam sheets are peeling or curling.
Store sheets flat in a cool, dry environment. If a sheet has curled, place a heavy, flat object on top of it for a period to flatten it out.
Paint or markers are bleeding through the foam.
Test your decorating materials on a scrap piece first. Some porous materials may require a primer or sealant before applying inks or paints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These foam sheets require no setup beyond removing them from their packaging. Simply peel off the backing paper to reveal the adhesive.
Compatibility: The adhesive is designed to bond well with paper, cardstock, cardboard, and other porous craft surfaces. It may adhere less effectively to glossy, oily, or plastic surfaces. The foam material is compatible with most common craft adhesives (if additional adhesion is needed), paints, markers, glitter, and other dry embellishments.
Care: Store sheets flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the adhesive's tackiness and prevent warping. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures. To clean the foam surface, use a slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
