How should I store the foam sheets to keep them usable?

Can I use these for outdoor projects?
While they can be used for some outdoor decorative elements, the adhesive may not withstand prolonged exposure to moisture or extreme weather. For best results, use them on projects primarily kept indoors.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Press firmly for at least 10 seconds. For difficult surfaces, consider using a craft glue over the foam's adhesive.
Difficulty cutting intricate shapes
Use a sharp craft knife or precision scissors. For punches, ensure they are designed for materials thicker than standard paper and are in good condition.
Glitter shedding excessively
Consider applying a clear sealant or glitter glue over the surface after application to secure loose glitter.
Foam sheet is creased or bent
Attempt to flatten the sheet by placing it under a heavy book on a flat surface for several hours. Store flat in the future.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. Simply peel the backing paper from the adhesive side and stick the foam sheet to your desired surface. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or oils for optimal adhesion.
Compatibility: These sheets are compatible with most craft tools, including scissors, craft knives, and standard paper punches.
