ok, i am excited. after 2 days i finally got the NFSR right! my cookies turned out better than they started off with. just made antonias icing, and waiting for it to sit an hour or so. someone told me to you floral foam to stick my cookies into, so i got it.
when i cut it there is alot of green dust like stuff from the foam. do i need to cover the foam with something once i get it cut? i know the cookies will be in bags- but still it is a little "dusty".
also, do i just cut a square big enough to fit in the mug, or do i somehow need to shape it to the shape of the mug for a more perfect fit?
thnks in advance so very much,
jj
Yeah that foam bites, but I have not found anything ebtter yet.
So the dust just wipe it off the container and put some fake grass or something over it to coever it. The cookies willbe ok with the bags over them
I would cut it to fit snuggly. I use hot glue at the bottom of my container so the foam does not move around at all.
Good luck, let me know if you have more questions. I do quite a lot of these.

I use styrofoam blocks and shave them just a tad to the general shape of the container -- that way you don't get the green floaties from the oasis on your food. When I use oasis or styrofoam for holding my flower nails, I cover them with clear plastic wrap, just in case...
I generally cut a square or cube a tiny bit larger on the corners, so when I stuff the foan into the container, it fits tight. Then, I remove it, wrap it loosely in plastic wrap and stuff it back in.
plastic wrap-I just pull off a piece a bit larger than the foam, set the foan in the middle and pull the edges up around the sides, leaving the suface clear for sticking in the cookies. You can sometimes get the cookies sticks to go through the plastic, but I find it is messier.
thanks for the tips, i think i will cover it with some syran wrap- like you said bob. errr.....that means i need to go back to the store 
julia, you hot glue your foam to the bottom of the cup? the cups i bought are a hard plastic mug with the water inside for freezing. should i put glue to those?

Using hot glue in those cups shouldn't hurt the cup its self. The plastic on the cups are pretty thick. The glue should not be hot enough to melt thru unless you are using an industrial glue gun. Those things are super hot.
