Did you know that you can use EPS as part of a topiary?  I have a customer who is doing just that.  She is using the foam as the legs of an elephant topiary table display.  The foam will be covered with glue and seeds to make the legs more elephant like.  What other creative uses can you come up with?

I just sold a school two pieces of EPS for a large prop.  The school will be cutting the foam into a large face.  EPS is wonderful to use for props.  It’s easily cut and lightweight.  It can also be stored for reuse later.

This Tea Cup was carved out of 2 lb density EPS.  My customer used it for a prop in a photo shoot project. With EPS you can bring your imagination to life.

Even though the school year has only just started it seems parents are already planning for high school seniors’ all night graduation parties.  I quoted a customer a 36″ x 48″ x 96″ block of EPS to be carved into a giant shark.  The plan is to hang the shark from the ceiling as part of the party’s movie theme.

Best wishes for the school year to all students and parents!

I recently quoted a customer on a rather unique project.  He is going to make a smaller version of Stonehenge out of EPS and fiberglass.  He will shape the EPS himself to look more like the stones in the picture below.  The project will be displayed outside.

I had the unique opportunity to quote EPS pieces for a high school parade float.  The foam will be used to make a huge tiered cake.  EPS will also be used to cover the dow rods that will support the top two tiers.  EPS is being considered because it weighs less than wood and will be easier for the high school kids to work with.

I had an opportunity to quote and sell a high school located in the Northeast EPS blocks as props for their marching band.  The blocks will be painted and decorated in the school’s colors.   They plan to use them as portable platforms during various home games and band competitions over the coming school year.  Good luck!

With Halloween just around the corner, attached is a photo of a project one of our clients carved for an event, it was placed at the entrance. He made this using just 2 large blocks of the Expanded Polystyrene. Amazing isn’t it??!!

Finished Creation

We are currently running a quote for a customer in the Mid-West who is making their own theater props.  They are looking for a couple of blocks of foam to carve their own statues.  A little creativity on their part and they should have a couple of excellent props.
