[the funky gecko]

It is actually quite hard to do it without making a mess unless using a hot wire cutter.. I would recommend covering down some newspaper and then cutting it so you can clean up the mess easily.. Any kitchen knife or carving tools from your crafts store work well too..

can you make one?

We used a fillet knife with minimal mess. You can make a cutter but I think it's a lot easier to just cut it with a knife.

I've got a fruit carving knife that works really well. It doesn't leave a mess and I find it easy to clean up after.
