Could this be cut so multiple kids could have a strip? Is it too brittle to cut?

It could be cut, but I don't know if the magnifying properties would be affected.

Yes it can be cut... but remember that they would have to hold it up off the book at least 4 to 6 inches to see any magnifications. Many people, like myself, assumed that all you would have to do is lay it on the writings and it would be larger, but uh No! I hope this helped in some way...K

Yes it can be cut. You will need a sharp knife and a straight edge ruler for a good cut.

I cut mine with scissors. It is solid plastic but still a little flexible and not really thick. A utility knife should work, too.

You can cut this with scissors. I used it for a few different groups of cords.

Yes, it could be cut into pieces, although you would need some heavy duty scissors to cut it, I think. It's pretty thick.

Absolutely it can be cut. There is a slight gap inbetween the plastic. This ribbon has no stones.

You could cut it fairly easily. It would make it rather short though. It will also fold in half very easily so other than saving weight by only carrying one of the shorter pieces, I wouldn't see an advantage to cutting.

It's paper so you can, but I would be careful not to cut too much. You might want to practice with a piece of paper and make a fan. Use it as a test run and see how it changes after cutting it.

I'm looking at the mat and I think YES. It's not so thick that you couldn't cut it and it is very soft and pliable. You'd want to use a nice sharp blade. I think it would still work great with all the remaining suction cups!

Hello. I had no problem cutting this material. however, I did not purchase the super thick mat. I used a sharp box knife and a straight edge and was super pleased. I mated 4 pieces to cover the room. I hope this helps : - )

You can use regular scissors to cut it. Even children's craft scissors will work.

No it is not thick so I'm sure it could be cut. You would have to cut around the suction cups on it.

While I have not attempted to cut mine, I have no confidence you would be able to get a smooth edge on the cut. My students have dropped the boards enough that several have their corners chipped. They are made of some sort of composite board. The backs are very absorbent and the fronts are of course, sealed. I know that they are not intended to be cut. Unless you desire a large quantity, you might do better at a dollar store so there is little loss if it does not cut well.

I would think you could cut through it with some very sturdy scissors or even a small saw. It's not too tough-- just thick. And wonderful!

The short answer: YES. That said, the material is substantial, and ideally one should use some sharp tools to cut neat and straight lines and to avoid cracking. A cut-off wheel, like a Roto-Zip tool would be ideal, or any power cutting tool. You could also use a hot knife tool to score nice, neat lines and then snap off. A heavy pair of shears would be a third choice.

I laid mine on a piece of cardboard then used a utility knife and a straight edge to score both sides. After scoring both sides thoroughly I was able to snap off the extra. However if you are only trimming a small amount I would just alternate from one side to the other unit you are all the way through.

You would need a saw to cut it! The plastic is very hard. I wouldn't recommend it.
