Product Information

Great temperature and weather condition properties. Specially EPDM application is good for outdoor use. When you need a foam solution that is shaped the way you need it for the project or purpose, our Polyethylene Cylinders are the ideal solution. Made to be durable and easy to implement, these foam solutions are a high-quality option for a range of projects. Wire and yarn bits are also widely available. Old fashioned electric current transformers - as found in many older electronic appliances - can contain a lifetime supply of copper wire for nymphs like Copper Johns and ribbing for larger flies. Talking about foam will naturally lead to craft foam, which is probably one of the best known alternatives to fly tying specific materials. These foam sheets are widely available, and even though their fly tying counterparts aren't as prohibitively expensive as with the cylindrical foam, it's still more expensive to buy your foam in a fly shop compared to a craft or hobby store. If you start looking around for alternative sources for well known fly tying materials, you will often find that your search will lead to fly tying sources rather than alternative sources. That's because the fly tying community and the wholesalers often rename the products to a more fly tying related name.

Look at examples like Squirmy Wormy legs. The Squirmy Wormy has become synonymous with a fly made of a very soft, colorful, rubbery material. An online search for Squrimy Wormy leads to flies only, and add the word material and you will be lead to bags of bags twenty pieces sold at 3-4-5 USD. But look for the right name and magic happens. The price drops to a dollar for hundreds of pieces. See the chapter below for more details.

That’s why this cardboard tube jellyfish came to be, isn’t he the cutest?? It’s as easy as recycling a cardboard tube and using a foam ball.

Start off by cutting the Styrofoam ball in half. You can save one of the halves for another project. You only need one of them for this craft. Paint one half of the ball with light blue paint and allow it to dry. When everything is dry, turn the foam ball upside down with the flat side facing up. Place the cardboard tube in the center of the flat side and “draw” around the tube with a craft knife. Remove the tube temporarily. Use the craft knife, or even a pencil, to widen the circle you just created. When it’s wide enough, insert the cardboard tube into it, fitting it snugly.
