I have just done some innovative carving on ethafoam using the classic Ginsu knife, and it really worked well. If you want straight lines, a box cutter, (kind of razor blade thing in a holder) and a straight edge works well.

Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA where air conditioning is probably saving lives.

Subject: [lace] Construction foam pillows

Hello All! Our tiny lace group is getting ready to teach lace to a Girl Scout troop again this year. Last year, we borrowed pillows from everywhere for our workshop. This year, one of the considerations is to make construction foam pillows--like the ones that are sold for $5 at IOLI convention. This would allow each scout to have a pillow to practice at home for a very reasonable cost. I saved my CF pillow from Sacramento & luckily it has a bar code on the bottom so I should be able to find similar material at Home Depot or Lowes. My question is: how to cut/shape this stuff? Has anyone made one & would you be willing to share some practical information? Any suggestions would be most welcome. Many thanks. Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
