This is a photo of the 6mm foam I use for the bases of my ornaments/eggs. It's tuff enough to handle the hot glue and strong enough to support the mini figurines that I love to use. Sometimes I will use thin Styrofoam board as the base. I mark the disk F for front, B for back, and cut out the disk with a pair of scissors. |
 |
This is the "foam" disk after its been cut. You can see the thickness. |
 |
Not good... the objective is to conceal the "base" as much as possible.
|
 |
Try to get the "base" flush with the lip of the porcelain. |
 |
This is how the base should look after the trimming. I will press the base down (area shown with arrows) to get it even with the lowest point of the porcelain and then hot glue it in place. |
|
To be continued when I have my "minis" painted and ready to insert on base
