Thank you for this great demo-I really appreciated that you took the time to show us what would happen if we used a smaller piece of paper to make our template and how that would alter the final shape into a much steeper flair.

Can I please ask where do you get these craft foam

[@ThePotteryWheel]

it can be tricky to find big sheets of craft foam. It depends where you are. I'm in the UK, I just searche online for A3 sheets of craft foam, and a few craft suppliers will come up. Ebay is a good place to look. I hope that helps.

Thank you so much. Yes I live in Australia
