Step 5Cutting Out the Base
As a base for your map, you need a piece of foam board large enough to provide backing for your map and a set of labeled buttons. In some cases, you may need to cut this base piece from a larger piece of stock.
1. Using the metal T square or a metal ruler, measure your map image and your button labels.
2. Cut out a piece of foam board with room enough for the map image and the button labels. Protect your work surface with the cutting mat, as shown in the figure.
*Note: Please use a new sharp blade when cutting foam board; it will be easier to cut and you will avoid it catching.
