How to do it
1 Foam Clay is small polystyrene beads in a sticky clay-like base. Take the entire amount of Foam Clay (a good handful) from the packaging. Shape it in your hands, distributing the small balls uniformly in the clay. Take a small amount of Foam Clay and form a ball. Put the rest back in the container and put on the lid to maintain the consistency.
2 Flatten the ball. Press it onto the item in a thin layer. Repeat until the item is covered. You may change colour along the way.
3 Use Foam Clay for fine details by rolling Foam Clay out flat on a plastic pocket. Use a rolling pin and leave to dry.
4 Cut out detailed parts from the rolled-out, dried piece of Foam Clay.
5 Use a fresh blob of Foam Clay for attaching the cut-out parts.
6 Push the dry part onto the wet Foam Clay.
