Use scissors or a saw cut piece of foam to make the floor of the ring. You will need at least 2 inches thick foam and cut it according to the dimensions you took before. If you don’t find 2-inch thick foam, you can glue together thinner layers of foam to reach the ideal thickness of the ring floor.
