Having a need for some silly foam tires and not wanting to take my chances on ordering some and not fitting I decided to try my hand in making my own. Lots of information out there on how to do it. I ran into a little difficulty in locating the foam.
As I was cruising through Hobby Lobby I stumbled on large sheets of foam in the crafts department. Three different sizes of 1mm, 3mm, and 5mm. The sheets are 12"x 18" in size. They also come in a rainbow of colors including black!
Thought I would purchase some as they were on sale at 40% off! Most expensive size was the 5mm at a $1.27!
Granted it may not be the thickness I needed but i figured if I stacked them together to acheive a close size I could trim from there.
Here are a couple of shots of the out come! Oh - they work great!
These are my first attempt samples which are a little sloppy however as I did a few more they got much better.
Nice way to get the size you want!
