Flex-It Mesh 50cm x 3m - Each

Flex-It Mesh 50cm x 3m is a versatile aluminium sculpting medium with a diamond weave pattern that can expand and contract, making it ideal for a wide variety of art, craft, and modelling applications. This flexible mesh can be twisted, bent, moulded, and shaped with ease, allowing children to create 3D forms, impressions, or use it as an armature for more complex sculptures. Its lightweight and durable nature ensures that finished artworks retain their structure and shape over time. It's perfect for use in individual or group projects, and is also great for creating decorative textures, enclosures for toy animals, or integrating into mixed media artwork as a sculptural or textural element. The mesh is easy to cut with scissors, promoting independence and reducing waste as students can use just the amount they need. Ideal for classroom settings, it encourages collaborative learning and hands-on exploration.
Caution: The edges may be sharp; gloves are recommended during handling to protect small hands.
Recommended for ages 3+ years.
