I think this may be the place for these. Made with expanding foam. I lined a bowl with cling film, sprayed it with cooking oil, then squirted the foam in. A plant pot covered in bubble wrap, a cake tin. All make cheap and cheerful shapes.  CIMG4757 by koffipot, on Flickr  CIMG4756 by koffipot, on Flickr  CIMG4541 by koffipot, on Flickr |

Did you join the other two pieces together? Do you cover it in cling film before using it?

Shelley, If I want to use 2 pieces of foam, I just stick them together temp. with some cocktail sticks. Sometimes cover with cling film, thin cotton or bubble wrap if I want to make it a little bigger. It's surprising what we have in the kitchen cupboards or garden shed; often those seldom used things can be given a "career change"  |

Don't forget to spray the inside of your shape with a little cooking oil. It allows the foam to be released more easily.
Also, don't use too much foam (as I always seem to do) it keeps expanding long after you think, then you have to slice off a huge chunk of something resembling a very large meringue!

Brilliant idea!
But I know what you mean about the foam expanding long after you stop squirting it!
