How to Make a Styrofoam Heart With Red Felt
Styrofoam is a versatile substance. It is often used to protect fragile objects when they are being shipped, but it can also be useful in craft projects. Styrofoam can be purchased in blocks that you can carve into whatever shape you desire or in pre-cut shapes you can incorporate into your project. You can cut a block of Styrofoam into a heart shape and cover it in red felt to use in a craft project or as a Valentine's Day decoration.
