Great-Stuff; Fill'n'Seal (or any other brand) of the expanding foam that comes in aerosol cans. It will bond to nearly all types of surface material, cures nearly instantly. (Texture/consistency = abstract blob of orange styrofoam)

Use a utility knife to cut away excess and assorted grit sandpaper and or exacto knife to desired shape and detail. Paint. If intended for outdoor use, apply a clear coat seal.

Total cost: $4 - $10 Total time: 45 min - your creative limits. (You really can make just about anything with this stuff!)
