How Do You Make Birthday Character Styrofoam Centerpieces?
Create your own birthday centerpieces by making characters out of Styrofoam that match the theme of your child’s party. Your character Styrofoam centerpieces can be anything you want them to be, even if you choose different characters for each table. It may be easier to begin by creating characters or shapes with sharper angles. Determine how large you’d like your centerpiece characters to be. Select Styrofoam blocks that are larger than your design plans. Gather pictures of each character you wish to sculpt into a Styrofoam character. Use coloring books or print images from the Internet. Have the pictures blown up at a copy center if you want larger sculptures. Cut out your character and tape it onto the Styrofoam block, leaving 2 to 3 inches on the bottom to create a base for your character and increase stability. Draw the outline of your character directly onto to the Styrofoam, taking care to not press down so you don’t mar the Styrofoam, and use a ruler to outline your base. Remov
