Description

Inspired by XPS foam gravestone projects here, I made these snowpeople out of 16" x 24" pieces of XPS foam. I made a snowman, snowwoman, and snowkid - which are posted here separately.

Cut, paint, and mount.

I mounted the foam to the X-Carve Pro wasteboard using double-sided tape. For ease of cutting I separated the cuts into 2 projects, but they are combined here. An 1/8" upcut bit is used to cut the outline and a 1/16" tapered bit for a light pass to add detail and make it easier to paint the details.

A piece of 1/2" PVC pipe is glued to the back using construction adhesive and then a piece or rebar is hammered into the ground to hold them. I painted the entire thing in a couple coats of white stain-sealing primer and then painted the other colors on top.
