It's called desert foam and you will find it in the floral aisle of your local craft store. I've attached a few more pics. Hope it helps.
1st pic. In the background of this picture you will see the cylinder shaped desert foam I purchased from Michaels. In the foreground are the two 1/2" disc I cut from the foam.
2nd pic. I place the disc on the tussy mussy & hold it in place with a straight pin. I then use hot glue or liquid glass to adhere the sides of the tussy mussy. Once the sides are dry I remove the straight pin and the desert foam. I place liquid glass around the disc and reinsert into the tussy mussy. As an added measure I place straight pins to secure the foam.
If I had to do it over again I would probably buy one coned shaped desert foam to use as a mold. It would help give the tussy mussy shape and hold the cardstock in place until the glue dries. Once dry I would remove the coned shaped foam.
