Glitter foam is perfect for making costume masks that really stand out at parties or playdates. Cut mask shapes about 7 inches wide from 2 to 3mm thick foam, and don’t forget to add ear holes so they actually stay on.
A layer of foam or felt on the inside keeps things comfy. Decorate with sequins, feathers, or extra foam bits to create all sorts of characters, such as superheroes, animals, or maybe something totally new.
7) Glitter Foam Wrapped Jar Vases
If you have some plain jars or glass containers lying around, wrap them with glitter foam sheets for instant decorative vases. Just measure and cut the foam to fit the jar’s height, then glue it on.
No loose glitter mess, since these sheets are already sparkly. Pick colors that match your space. These wrapped jars work as centerpieces, organizers, or just to hold a few flowers.
8) Glitter Foam Bookmarks with Tassels
Glitter foam bookmarks are both sturdy and fun to look at. Cut them into any shape, such as rectangles, animals, rockets, etc.

Once you’ve glued the edges into place, you’ve got a lightweight, glittering container that’s perfect for holding jewelry or small trinkets.
11) Glitter Foam Gift Tags with Ribbon
Make your gifts stand out by cutting glitter foam sheets into little tags. Punch a hole in the top, run some ribbon through, and you’re set. Write the recipient’s name with a marker or add decorative cutouts.
These tags are way tougher than paper ones and you can use them again if you want. Plus, the sparkle just makes any gift look more special.
12) Glitter Sheet Moon and Stars
Turning a few glitter foam sheets into a celestial mobile is such a fun way to bring the night sky indoors and add a bit of sparkle to a quiet corner.

14) Glitter Foam Flower Wreath for Front Door
If your front door’s been looking a bit plain lately, a handmade glitter foam flower wreath could be just the thing. Grab some glitter foam sheets in a bunch of colors and sizes and cut out a mix of flower shapes. Layer them up for that nice, dimensional look.
Once you’re happy with your blooms, stick them onto a foam wreath base using hot glue (or craft adhesive if you’re out of glue sticks). If there are any awkward gaps, tuck in some smaller foam leaves or extra glittery bits. The result? A sparkly, cheerful wreath that’ll probably get your neighbors talking.
15) Glitter Foam Pencil Toppers
Animal-shaped pencil toppers are way more fun than plain pencils! With glitter foam sheets, you can whip up cats, dogs, birds, bears, or whatever animal you like. The sparkle makes each design pop, but the foam’s still light enough that it won’t mess with your writing.

16) Glitter Lipstick Keychain
Want to add a bit of sparkle to your keys or bag? Try making lipstick keychains from glitter foam sheets. Just cut out small strips, roll them up, and secure the edge with glue or tape. Add a contrasting color for the “lipstick” part and attach a small keychain loop.
They work great as cute accessories or as little gifts for friends. If you’re feeling fancy, throw on some charms, beads, or extra glitter accents to match your personal vibe.
17) Glitter Sheet Desk Organizer

Those foam cutouts add some solid texture and shine to birthday cards, holiday greetings, or thank you notes. The foam keeps everything sturdy, and the glitter just looks awesome in the light. Layer up different colors or toss in other embellishments if you want to get creative.
