This styrofoam carving need a few steps in making it. First we have to draw the shape that we want to onto the styrofoam. After that, we must attached one styrofoam to another styrofoam in order to make the shape looks 3D. And yes, the cutting start. Basically, we only use the cutter to cut the styrofoam, but in order to make it smooth and the curvy line, we use the styrofoam cutter. It's a hot iron line that been heated by the power of battery. hahaha. 

after a week, the shape are fully done, and the next step is, coloring. just a simple way, color the styrofoam using the suitable water color just to make it glow and pretty and of course to look like the real one. and below shows our styrofoam carving, Smurf. happy reading !

"Sayang, sy tak tau nak cakap mcmmana dah, kadang-2 sy sendiri tak tau mcmmana nak elakkan benda ni. Sy takut hilang awk, dh dekat 5 bulan dah kita ni. Dulu awk merajuk dgn saya, tk text seminggu sy tak rasa mcmmni sekali, tp sekarang, sy tak tau nk ckp mcmmana. Kita tak on call, sy text awk tak reply. Sayang tau tak apa sy rasa ? sy rasa mcm awk tkperlu saya dh. Time-2 mcmni, sy terfikir, mana janji awk, mana yg awk kata awk nk tunggu sy, lagi 6 tahun ? Sy tak pernah nk salahkan awk, sy tak terfikir pape pun, tp sy nak tau mana silap saya, sampai awk tetiba hilang mcmtu je. Sy just nak tau mana salah sy, bukan kita tak boleh cakap kan, selama ni kita try setltle down semua problem kita, boleh je. Kenapa tetiba je awk mcmni. Sayang, sy tunggu  sampai awk rasa awk perlukan sy. Saya rindu awk :("
