Instructions:

  1. Print star templates on cardstock and cut out.  Pin templates to the foam sheets.  Follow the template to cut the stars from the foam sheet using the serrated knife.  Following the package instructions, carefully use the StyroCutter® Plus to cut the smaller stars from the centers.  Be sure to keep the blade of the cutter at a 90 degree angle to the foam.  Keep a steady pace and do not force the blade through the foam.
