Holding foam sheet firmly on a flat surface, extend one end and cut across score line, using knife like a saw. Or, try dental floss: stand the sheet on its edge, and hold a 20-inch length of dental floss along the scored line, positioning one hand at the bottom of the board and the other at the top; draw the dental floss down through the foam sheet along the scored line. Repeat with remaining two foam sheets.
 
     Spread white craft glue on foam square, center 12-inch x 12-inch paper, and adhere to foam. Repeat, covering all foam squares.

     Glue sawtooth picture hanger to back. For additional hold, insert and glue two straight pins through holes in sawtooth picture hanger.
 
     Let dry before hanging.
Tip: These scrapbook papers capture the warm palette of Tuscany. Travel the world to create your wall art, embracing the colors and styles you prefer. In fact, consider covering the squares of STYROFOAM™ brand foam in maps and travel-theme papers. Change your mind? Just switch out the papers for a fresh, new look.
