::: self sticking collages
Over the holidays we managed to find these great foam shapes from Reverse Art.
The back peels off to reveal a lovely sticky surface which just begs to be decorated!
We popped out baskets of goodies for the children to go to town with.
They peeled of the backing paper …
and soon discovered just how sticky they were!
The children (and secretly the two of us) loved that glue was not needed!.
No mess!
No fuss!
Just lots …
and lots …
and LOTS …
of three dimensional FUN!
Now THEY are irresistible!

These are fabulous. I love that the kids thought to stand things up instead of lying everything flat on the surface.
::: Like we’ve said before Catherine … they always come up with the best ideas!
I agree, irresistible.
I like using contact paper for the same reason. It’s already sticky and no glue is needed. But I don’t think we could do THIS with contact paper. It’s too flimsy for these creations!
::: You’re right Scott contact paper it wouldn’t hold the weight the way the foam pads do. We use contact with coloured cellophane to make “stained glass windows” and they look beautiful!

Soo, soo, cool! Where did you buy this stuff?
::: ‘V’ we picked up the sticky foam pads from ‘Revers Art Truck’, a local recycling depot.
oooh, i love the standy uppy ones!
::: We love the “standy uppy ones” too Jen!
