If you're confused about foam boards for Kinusaiga fabric art, you're not alone! In this video, I break down the differences between XPS foam board, Styrofoam, and other foam products so you can confidently choose the right material for your projects.

I'll explain the various foam board thicknesses, including 1/2", 1" & 2" options, where they work best, and how to avoid common mistakes when shopping for supplies. I also demonstrate an easy way to cut foam board using a thin utility knife and share tips for fitting the foam perfectly into different types of frames for a clean, professional-looking finish.

Understanding your materials is one of the most important steps in creating beautiful Kinusaiga artwork, and this video will help take the guesswork out of the process.

Be sure to subscribe because in my next video I'll be creating three new Kinusaiga fabric art pieces using the frames discussed in this tutorial. Since I'm a beach girl at heart, all three designs will feature ocean-inspired themes!

Happy crafting!
