A great resource for how to accomplish various costume effects with foam. Very focused on foam floor mat squares, depending on your location more economical options may be available.

I think this might have been improved with a simple step-by-step project to illustrate the techniques. More technical illustration wouldn't have been a bad thing either, particularly circuit diagrams when discussing LED lighting.
