I found this really great tutorial to make foam falls, they are so perfect, but I don't understand a word (it is in Finnish) can anyone tranlate it for me (if you speak finnish^^) ???

these falls are really big and I don't know how to get the same result

here is the link :

I don't speak Finnish, but there are pictures that show what she's doing..

1. Cut strips of foam using a straightedge and a smooth, sharp blade (box cutters are good as long as the blade isn't dull from, ya know, cutting boxes). Make the pieces 1 to 1.5cm wide, and no wider than 2cm.

2. Glue two pieces together with a hot glue gun (there is also glue made especially for foam that would probably work really well for this).

3. Fold the foam strips in half so you've got "foam DEs"

4. Put a rubberband around the folds to make little loops at the top. The picture of the yellow falls shows bundles with more than one folded piece of foam in them, but the tutorial only shows 1 piece.

5. Thread a piece of ribbon through the loops in the foam. An easy way to do this is to fasten a safety pin through the end of the ribbon and thread that through first.

The picture of the yellow falls shows bundles with more than one folded piece of foam in them, but the tutorial only shows 1 piece. You'd need to use more than one piece per bundle to get more volume.

You can also make several ribbons and knot them all toghether

Hi there,

I've been meaning to translate the tutorial, but I've just been way too busy to do that - and will be the whole month. All work and no play makes me a dull girl. Sad

In normal foam falls (like the blue ones) I use three layers of foam stripes per fall - and when I want extra volume, I tie up to 3-4 "foam DE's" in one bundle.

Hope this helps for now.
