CULINARY PRODUCTION: STYROFOAM CARVING PART 2

ASSALAMMUALAIKUM

HI READERS!!

OKAY, TODAY OUR GROUP WILL SHARE ABOUT STYROFOAM CARVING. WE NEED TO MAKE A ANTIQUE CAR. THAT IS A THEME FOR OUR GROUP. SO LETS GET TO START!!!!

FIRST YOU MUST KNOW PURPOSE WE MAKE A STYROFOAM CARVING. THIS IS THE ANSWER!

Something in a central position, especially a decorative object or arrangement place at the center of table

So, you need to prepare the tools, our tools is provided from politeknik..

Tools

Styrofoam cutter
Cutter/ blade
Pematri
Glue
Plaka color
Sand paper- Rough and Smooth

TIPS FOR STYROFOAM

Cutting: STYROFOAM™ brand foam cuts easily with a serrated knife, hacksaw, floral knife . Wax the knife blade with an old candle for easier, smoother cuts. To cut a thick piece, or several sheets stacked together, try using an old electric knife , as the saying goes, "it cuts like butter."

Sanding: For smooth, rounded edges, "sand" the foam with another piece of STYROFOAM brand foam. To shape larger pieces, cut out the basic shape and then sand to the final shape.

Sculpting: Shape it with your fingers, carve it with a knife, roll it on a table, or texture it with tools. You can even roll it flat with a rolling pin.

Texturing: Cover foam shapes with plaster, wallboard compound, gesso, modeling paste or other coating materials. Then, smooth it or stucco it, swirl it or sculpt it.

Cookie cutters: For a wide variety of fun shapes, press metal cookie cutters into a ½" thick sheet of STYROFOAM brand foam. Gently remove the shape from the cutter, "sand" any rough edges with another piece of foam, and you're done. Dip your shape in paint and stamp out greeting cards and wrapping paper; or, use the shape to decorate a Christmas tree, garland or wreath.

Curling: To create curls, cut out thin strips from a foam sheet by holding a knife vertically, pressing slightly against the sheet and carefully pulling the knife toward you.

Painting: Paint with water-based craft paint. Solvent-based paints may damage the foam (see paint manufacturer's instructions for details). For thorough coverage, try a stiff stencil brush and gently "scrub" the surface with the paint. Some spray paints are safe to use on STYROFOAM brand foam , read the label carefully to determine whether or not it's foam-safe. When spraying, rotate the shape for better coverage. For easier handling when painting, insert a floral pick or skewer into the foam shape to use as a handle. When done, insert the handle in a block of STYROFOAM™ or stand in a glass or can while paint dries.

Gluing: For a fast, sure bond, use a low-temperature glue fun. Hot glue guns can be used but the hot glue may melt a small portion of the foam. White craft glue is a tried and true favorite for STYROFOAM™ brand foam. For a better bond between two pieces, gently rub the pieces together before gluing; insert toothpicks or florist's picks between the pieces to hold them together while the glue dries.

Marking sections on balls and eggs: Marking off sections on a rounded surface can be tricky, but with the aid of a thick rubber band, you can measure even sections and draw smooth lines. For example, to divide a ball or egg into two equal sections

HOW TO CARVE THE STYROFOAM

Instructions

1. Decide on a shape. Before you begin to carve a piece of Styrofoam, you need to have a good idea of what you want to create with it. You can draw out a template on cardboard or simply sketch something out on paper. This will help you develop a plan of attack when it comes time to do the actual carving.

2. Start with the bigger cuts. Once you have an idea of the shape you want, begin by cutting large chunks of Styrofoam off to get close to the end result. You can use a serrated knife for the large cuts; if the Styrofoam is really thick, try an electric knife or hot wire tools.

3. Do some detail work. Once you have the general shape cut out, you need to go in and do the detail work. This can be done with a smaller serrated knife and a little bit of patience. A craft knife is also a good choice for the detail work.

4. Create some texture. If you want to create some texture, there are many specialty tools designed to help you carve Styrofoam. Some can help you create circles, while others can help you create texture or designs in your foam.
