Begin by cutting and stacking squares of upholstery foam until the desired width and height is reached. Using a marker, lightly sketch out the design you wish to carve. Do this to the sides as well.
Next, begin hollowing out the center space, starting from the bottom and working upwards layer by layer. Be sure to continually try the pieces on as you go to achieve the desired space inside.
Continue to enlarge the interior space, matching the pieces to one another as you go along.
