Foam Rubber - The Ideal Craft Material

What can you craft with foam rubber?

Since there are not only foam rubber sheets but also pre-cut numbers and letters, they can be processed particularly easily. With just a few steps, you can decorate door signs, pictures, wall decorations in the children's room, or even greeting and invitation cards with foam rubber.
With the foam rubber sheets, you can also craft very simple shapes, animals, and even your own stamps. The internet offers a multitude of ideas, inspirations, instructions, and templates.
Special tip: Self-adhesive foam rubber is even easier to work with and can be used for a variety of craft projects since you can skip additional materials like glue. You only need to cut the desired shapes with scissors and stick them to any surface. The self-adhesive foam rubber is ideal for crafting with children.
Foam rubber is also popular for crafting school cones because this colorful craft material is more stable and robust compared to paper while still being soft to the touch, children love the self-made foam rubber creations. For gluing foam rubber, a special foam rubber adhesive is used. This securely fixes the sheets and does not dissolve the foam rubber.
