Homemade backgrounds/hides

I've been checking out all the pics everyone has posted about some of the stuff they've made for their cages with the styrofoam and stuff and I must say, I'm pretty impressed! I dug around with the search method on this site and even googled making them but seem to be finding conflicting information on creating these. Would anyone care to go thru the materials needed and what needs to be done to craft these for a sticky or point me in the direction of a post that may already be up that I just missed? I'm starting to plan out what I will be doing when I purchase new tanks for my guys, so I just want to get a jump on this kind of thing.

Thanks.

I am about to use "Great Stuff" its a window sealer but its comes in a non toxic version and you can shape it to anything you want. Its kinda messy though!

Here is a link to a post I made telling how I made my rocks.
I have seen other topics posted where people used Great Stuff, I would recommend to MAKE SURE you grout it well and seal it. I'm not sure of what else it has it in to make it the way it is but I would hate to think of getting any of those chemicals into the gecko tank.
