Foam Selection Guide

Genuine STYROFOAM Brand Foam
Select STYROFOAM Brand Foam for the following projects:

  • Craft Projects - STYROFOAM is an ideal base for many creative craft projects. From Christmas ornaments to topiaries, you'll find that STYROFOAM Brand Foam is a great way to start many craft projects - versatile, inexpensive and easy to use.
  • Floral Arrangements - If you are arranging flowers with thick stems, such as silk roses or poinsettia bushes, choose STYROFOAM Brand Foam as your base. STYROFOAM Brand Foam holds even the thickest silk flower stems firmly in place, with a grip that never shifts. Just use a serrated knife to trim the foam to fit your container. Adhesive-backed floral arrangers make it even easier.
Dry Floral Foam
Select dry floral foam if you are arranging silk or dried flowers with delicate stems.
Wet Floral Foam
If you are working with fresh flowers, be sure to select a floral foam that states "for fresh flowers" and "water absorbing". Today, The Dow Chemical Company does not make a wet floral foam.
