How to make styrofoam prismatic 3D Letters for decorating your home.

Cut the 3D letters with an Electric Foam Cutter Polystyrene/styrofoam Hot Wand Foam Cutting Tool or buy your letters on ebay. The letters supplied on ebay will have a standard profile and will not have a prismatic face, you will need to carve the face yourself.
