Awesome Popper Snikosk but, i have a question. How do you keep the foam from rotating around the needle. I have tryed theese dremel poppers but the foam keeps slipping,making it impossible to shape. Could you help me please? Thanks

That fly is cool. I read an article about making these a while back. I am sure they used a drywall screw wih the head cut off inserted in the dremel tool/foam to hold it
