Free Craft Tip: How to Shape and Glue Styrofoam

Shape styrofoam with a cold, unplugged clothes iron, rolling pin, meat mallet or other heavy object for a wide range of textures. Flatten the form with a rolling pin; roll on both sides to keep it from curling. White craft glue is ideal for styrofoam. Use florists' picks or toothpicks to hold the pieces together until dried. For faster bonding, try a low-temp glue gun; hot glue guns can be used but they will melt a small portion of the foam.
