How to Make a Styrofoam Plate
Styrofoam plates are commonly used for serving food on. While most Styrofoam plates are manufactured by large companies, users can make Styrofoam plates using store bought Styrofoam. Styrofoam is widely used for keeping drinks or food warm or cold. In addition, Styrofoam plates are convenient because they are lightweight and consist of 95 percent air.

Draw another circle inside the cut-out plate. This circle will serve as the plate's indented bowl.
