To begin, gently spray the foam into the bottom of a disposable bread tin. I prefer to go in a vertical up and down motion as I go but you could also go side to side if you prefer. Whichever direction gives you the most control of the foam. Spray the foam until it reaches the top of the tin. Set your tins aside to dry. […]

Start by laying out two sponges side by side. Then lay a piece of real bread on top of the sponges so that it lays across the gap between the sponges. I placed mine so that the cut would be diagonal but you can make the cut horizontal if you prefer. Using the bread as your guide, loosely trace the outline. […]

Use a silicone madeleine mold and a can of spray foam filler. Make sure to wear gloves during this process. Spray foam is very sticky and does not come off easily. Start by carefully piping the spray foam into the madeleine molds. While it is still wet, scrape off excess foam with a popsicle stick. Make sure that you get the foam filler into all the crevices.

You’ll start by cutting a flat rectangle piece of a plastic shopping bag; preferably one that is white with no logos. Once you have a nice piece to work with, grab a fist size amount of polyfill and put it onto the center of the bag, then wist the top so you trap the polyfill inside. […]

Start with a ball of model magic or any type of air-dry clay and then start gently making a very subtle cone shape. Then on the thicker side use your finger to make an indentation on the top. If you’re making a lot, make sure to vary the sizes a little bit so they’re a little bit less uniform. […]

Coat your sponge in a thick layer of matte Mod Podge. Let dry. Mix together cream and yellow paint with a generous amount of caulking until you get a color resembling swiss-cheese. Apply a thick coat of the mixture to the surface of the sponge. It’s okay if some of the holes get filled in as this adds a bit more of a realistic texture. […]
