I don't remember where I saw it but does someone know of something really cool to do with foam trays from the supermarket (like from the meat dept?!)

I have one and now I can't for the life of me remember what the heck to do with it?! LOL!

I suppose you could use your dies and make stamps with them?

No, no, no, please don't tell me I have to save something else. (I just threw one away five minutes ago - making kabobs for supper).

LOL!! Oh Sue that is so me! I can't bear to throw some things out for fear I may be able to use it in something cool!!

Thanks Pam, for sure, I thought I saw something somewhere that had a cool idea for them and I just can't remember.

My grandkids used to make airplances out of them, but I don't think that is what you were looking for!!

I need spellcheck................

Making stamps out of them is a good idea. If your kids ever do any painting, it might be handy to have a stash to use as disposable paint palettes. I have to believe there are tons of uses for those - I'm just not coming up with anything right now.

Well, I have saved mine for years and recycled them along with those pesky packing peanuts and any other styrofoam.
I take them to a company in DE called Flo-pak. They make those air-filled bags that you get in packages. You all might want to check for recycling of styrofoam in your area.

THanks for all the input!

When I was doing a lot of "folk art" acrylic painting I used them for paint pallettes.......
you could probably use the with sprtizes, AI's, etc and then place paper on them for some cool effects........

Just a thought

Diana, those are both great ideas!

If you have some unusual or neat cookie cutters, they can be pressed into the foam, then punched or cut out and would make great stamps...
