Rayher Polystyrene Bird 5 cm, White Craft Blank

Rayher Polystyrene Bird 5 cm – Blank for Painting, Covering and Needle Felting

The Rayher polystyrene bird is a 5 cm figure made of white polystyrene (EPS) for decorating and crafting. The surface is smooth, so you can paint it, cover it with fabric or rhinestones, sew on sequins or needle felt it with felting wool.

The figure is small and suits decorations, charms or small craft projects. It is easy to handle, so you can decorate it quickly, and several birds combine well into a group.

Decorating the bird

Polystyrene reacts to solvents: spray paints and solvent-based varnishes can attack the surface. Use water-based all-purpose or craft paint and test any paint you are unsure about on a hidden spot first. Hot glue can also melt polystyrene; solvent-free craft glue is a safer way to stick on fabric, rhinestones or sequins.

• Painting: apply the paint in thin coats and let it dry between coats
• Needle felting: poke the felting wool in thin layers with the felting needle until it holds on the polystyrene
• Embroidering: attach sequins with pins or glue
