Developing a Numbered Tile - Step 4: Making Foam Templates
Posted February 9, 2019
Once I have the numbers vectorized, I then print them out. I suppose if you are concerned about keeping the paper pristine, you could use clear shelf paper over the top of the paper on one side. I didn't bother doing that here.
Using plain white school glue, I glue the paper to craft foam. (The foam is the color red in this image.) I've found that other types of glue, such as epoxy, tend to eat the foam. After that I carefully cut out the numbers' shapes.
These foam pieces are the templates that I use to cut numbers out of clay.
