   Foamcore is a stiff mounting and craft board made of two layers of a very
stiff paper board with a bit of foam between.  It comes in various widths (1/4"
& 1/8" being the most common here) and is used a lot for mounting needlework
because you can pull the fabric really tight and then pin into that foam core
to hold the needlework in place.  It is inexpensive, VERY easy to cut with a
craft knife and can be used to make all sorts of boxes and things like that.  I
have made some fabric boxes and purses and use the foam core to keep everything
nice and "stiff" and in place.
   You might ask for it in craft shops or maybe even some sort of home repair
supply type center.  It comes in sheets about the size of regular poster board
that you buy for a child's school project and is usually in the same area of
the store -- at least here on this side of the pond :-))!  Good Luck finding it
