To cut the holes you can get a can the size of the hole you want. Cut the rim off leaving a sharp edge. Mark where you want the holes. Use the can to cut the hole by rotating it back and forth on the foam. Or… Get a hole saw of the right size, chuck it up in the drill. Run the drill backwards to cut the holes. I’ve heard of some people heating the can enough to melt the foam, but I think this would be tricky. Not enough heat and it won’t work. Too much heat and you will melt a bigger hole than you want. ---

joanne’s fabrics the green foam is amazing for it. or depending on your store’s variety, they also have white foam which is the same density as the green, just I think it’s easier to dye. ---

Dipping the can in very hot, soapy water seems to help when cutting the holes. ---
