Quickest way would be to stack up posy pads in whatever size you wanted. A full oasis drum would probably work out same price anyway.

Once I thought i was buying posy pads and when they came in they werent posy pads at all, they were the same shape but all oasis instead of having a base, i was really peeved at the time but you might be able to get some of them and stack them so you wouldnt have a hard bit inbetween, think they were called cakes? not sure though

Think you're right Apple, though i never got round to using the cakes.
Even with the posy pads you could just about bridge the foam base bit if the petals where big enough.

you can buy a cylinder oasis make them i used one for my bitter pint glass, just cut a third off and that should be a good drum shapeP7042505.jpgthen i would use silk cord to create the zig zag tightening system around the edge, hope this helps. x

the size was (roughly) 12" across by 18" high, and the cost was about 9 quid. it was a descent size.

I suspect that would be XXXXXX heavy if you soaked it.

the key is only to soak the edges, i went around the perimiter of the shape with the shower head and soaked the first inch and a half left the centre dry, kept it lighter that way, TOP TIP lol
