Foam Molding
This is part 1 of 3 to making your baby bottle!
1) Take to rectangle pieces of moldable foam and put them next to each other. Then draw a circle as shown in the picture.
2) Next, take each piece and use a saw or knife to put around the half circle you have drawn. Do this for both pieces.
3) Now, use a wire brush or file to fine tune the half cirlces.
4) After you have done this, use hot glue to stick the two pieces of foam together.
5) Next, put a ring of hot glue around the cup you are using and stick your circle on top.
6) Again, use a file or wire brush to smooth around the circle.
7) Let your finished (for now) product set.
