We're doing a craft for our school fun fair. We want to take the kid's picture and have them make a frame. We want to use that thin foam and have them decorate it with foam stickers. Problem is I can't find foam frames. Oriental Trading had kits they can do but they're pretty expensive. We have a low budget and not a ton of time for the kids to do it. Hobby Lobby only had sheets of foam which we would have to cut into a frame. Any other suggestions of places?
TIA

Buy the sheets of foam and take them to a scrapbook store and cut them on a die cut machine!!! Much quicker!

Does the school have an Ellision machine? We have a die that makes picture frames and you can cut foam with it. It is worth a call to find out!

Have you already checked Michael's and Joanne's? I was going to have to cut 30 gingerbread men out of brown foam at Christmas, but Michael's saved my by having all sorts of pre-cut foam shapes packaged by the dozen for $2.99! I'd be really surprised if they didn't have simple foam frames.

Not sure of your budget, but these are awesome frames and at 50 cents a piece, not sure if just the sheets would be cheaper anyway.

Interesting, Erika. They're really cute, a little bigger than we wanted but I'll keep looking.
Thanks for the ideas, guys. I'll make some calls and see what I can do.
