Hey /diy/

I recently decided to put a foam topper on my bed. I had to cut the pieces in order to fit my mattress and now I have 2 pieces of foam that have no purpose. I'm too cheap to throw it away, so how can I re-purpose this foam?

Pic related, it's the foam.

Make a cot? Headboard pad?

Don't look into it, do it.

Keep it for padding the top of your car if you want to put couch or canoe or whatever up there.

Not a bad idea

bowtie.

and you have to wear it whenever people invite you out and you have to always be late and when you show up say 'sorry guys i was a little tied up'

and when you go to restaurants you're only allowed to order bow tie pasta

beware op, the path in front of you is paved in ridicule and misunderstanding, but we here on 4chan will appreciate your sacrifice.

Use a bit of it and form it into a neck pillow, cover in whatever choice of fabric.

Turn rest into giant bow tie as others have said.

look into foam re-bonding or foam recycling, some places will give you money for waste foam some chemicals like you might want to look into a foam rebonding spray or maybe someone has a recipe for it here on diy

if you like fishing, carve some hundreds of bass or saltwater poppers on it.

OP here,

It's memory foam with gel stuff in it so that somewhat limits what I can do with it. The bowtie would be all droopy and the finger wouldn't stay up so I'm not sure what I could use it for

The broomstick/pole holds the bow tie up, it keeps it from drooping

use PVC pipe to retain a humorous level of droopiness.

I'd need to use a belt to keep it on but that would add to the humor. Good ideas, guys!

I'd rather swallow the foam than have to interact with these two autistic fur dikes. No thanks, anon. And shame on you for linking me to that video.

You could use it to upholster/reupholster some chairs you have.

Also, if you have enough space in your metal tool boxes, you can lay it on the bottom under a rag to cut down on some of the clanging that goes on in there.

Well I've decided to wait for a few days and see if inspiration hits me. I would like to use the foam for a functional purpose before I make a bowtie out of it.
