Foam Picture Frames

The new foams that are on the market, like the Foamies™ brand we are using in this project, are a great material for laser cutting. Using fun vector shapes, you can create all types of different projects. The foam comes in a variety of colors and patterns, and even comes in sticky back sheets, making it easy to apply multiple layers to a project. We used sticky-backed Foamies that we purchased at a local craft store for these frames.

Download the files for these frames below, or design one of your own!

Each frame is broken up into files for each different color of foam that the frame is made up of, to make it easy to recreate the frames.

Change any text in the files to the names of your choice (in the case of the Hannah and Zach frame) or if you are making the Heart frame, change the "G" to the initial of your choice.

If you are creating your own design, the best way is to design your piece in Corel using the colors of foam that you will be using first, to get a good idea of how it will look when finished, then separate the colors into separate files.

If you are using sticky-backed foam, remove the backing from the foam before cutting to achieve the best edge quality possible.

When printing the files to the laser, the Hannah and Zach frame is set up for Vector only, while the Heart and Brothers also use Raster.

Lay out the pieces you have cut, then place them on the frame. If you are using sticky backed foam, you can stick the pieces directly to the frame, or if it is not sticky back, you can attach the pieces with glue.
