I used the 1″ thickness, but the 1.5″ would work too! I have a minivan and the entire sheet fits perfectly in the back of my car. Remove the silver and white plastic from both sides of your styrofoam. Cut out your design (in this case, the balloon garland) Walgreens ALWAYS has a sale going on, do a google search for promo codes before checking out!! The 3M Super 77 spray adhesive is the best I’ve found so far and shouldn’t eat the styrofoam, but it will if you spray directly onto the foam. When spraying your spray adhesive, spray the back of the banner not directly on the styrofoam.
When trimming the section that overlaps, I prefer to include entire balloons to overlap vs having a straight seam across a balloon. Take your time when cutting your balloons out. This part will be cut off anyway, and will avoid having a stark white edge to your balloons that might ruin the illusion. Leave the images ‘as-is’ and print them with the wall color changed as well. For the color changed balloon garlands, it looks a bit messy because I didn’t keep the back wall WHITE…but I did this on purpose. I suggest adding to the image with other things you want to print/create a styrofoam stand-up with! There is a TON of empty space on the files I’ve included. You can do this in photoshop, or in the walgreen’s photo app. My images all have the light source coming from the right, if you have your light set up on the left, just flip the image horizontally BEFORE printing. Make sure the light direction on the backdrop is the same as what you use in your own studio.
