Elegant Home Accents

 









Do you need an inexpensive way to decorate your home? This book is packed with lovely planters, wall hangings, decorative boxes and even a water fountain, all made of foam! This lady went crazy with foam and discovered so many ways to make affordable and outstanding projects. I tried the project on the lower left hand corner of the cover, a fleur de lis that looks old and rusted. What is wonderful about this book is that all of the patterns are included, so it is fairly easy to cut these patterns out of foam.

This is from the description of the book on amazon.
Foam Decor turns ordinary Plastifoam "RM" into incredible accessories and architectural pieces. This home decor is so elegant that no one will suspect it's made out of foam. Kristy McNeil is a pioneer in the field, and her book teaches crafters how to make everything from an angel wing sculpture to a scrollwork lamp, floor fountain, and birdbath. Projects are broken into three main chapters: Architectural Elegance, Contemporary Comfort, and Outdoor Patio Decor, plus an inspirational photo gallery of completed projects. Techniques, tools, and supplies are also explained in detail.
  • Decor projects look substantial, but they can be easily lifted with a finger or two
  • Designs look expensive, but are surprisingly economical
  • More than 24 projects, including step-by-step photography


I will add photos of my attempt at this foam crafting technique.  Pictures will be uploaded soon. These projects from the book may be beautiful, however, they are not fast projects, much time and hard work goes into each piece.

I am not receiving any money from this company or amazon, I am just sharing with you this technique. You may look at some of the book on amazon, but in no way am I representing or affiliated with them. Get your books any place you'd like!
