Look how cool these vintage yellow flower pins look displayed on a green Styrofoam cone form. The form is sitting on a tray alongside a sweet picture frame.I can see this idea working for all kinds of whimsical costume jewelry pins, especially colorful 1960s Flower Powers styles.
Styrofoam is inexpensive and comes in so many different shapes. You will find balls, blocks, rings, cones and other shapes.
Can you spray paint Styrofoam? Ordinary spray paint will melt Styrofoam. For more information on paint Styrofoam read: How To Paint Styrofoam.
You could also cover the Styrofoam form with vintage material or wallpaper.
