Ah here we go! Some of my trusted tools of the trade! As you can see above we have the exacto(however you spell it) knife. Yes that is a beer in the background, but please DO NOT drink while using ANY sharp object/tool. It only ends in injury and that's never a good thing. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T USE SHARP OBJECTS WHILE DRINKING! And below that picture is a pair of clippers. These are actually metal clippers for beading crafts but I think you can find them in a hardware store as well. I love them for cutting parts out of their trays because A) they cut well and B) they have a nice flat edge that lets you get close to the part and cut it out in one quick safe motion. It also saves on time because I know the other way I have seen it done was with an exacto knife and that can take a bit depending on the type of plastic you are trying to get through. Also the clippers are a cleaner break/cut. But this is just my opinion it is by no means the only way.
