Things You'll Need:
- Marker
- Ruler
- Electric Knife
-
Step 1
Using a ruler draw a line where you want to cut. If it will not show through your fabric a permanent marker works great.
-
Step 2
Place your foam piece on a table and using your electric knife start on one corner and slice just like you were cutting bread.
-
Step 3
When you reach the bottom allow your knife to rest of the table or counter top and slowly pull towards you to complete your cut. Now you have a nice clean cut piece of foam!

on 8/15/2009 I purchased mine at Joann's Fabric. Most fabric stores carry foam in different thicknesses. Good luck!

on 8/15/2009 Nice tip. Can you point me to where you got that foam? I've been looking for foam like that to make a pelican type case out of an old hard suitcase for camera gear.
TIA
