Using fun foam


In a recent video on my YouTube channel I spoke about fun foam, about how I have it and never use it, so this week I have been on a mission to find a way to incorporate it into my crafting.

I found that fun foam can be used to make shaker and or Eclipse cards.
I really like the effect it gave me and the bonus was it saved my scissors from getting gunky.

I have linked the video of how I made this below.

Happy crafting
