I have a sponge and rubber specialty store not far from home which sells the off cuts of different thickness and density for AU$10 a bag which is so big it just fits in the back of my station wagon. Very Happy

Have cut heaps into varioius shapes using a hot wire. Beware that you need to do this outside or as I do,turn the evap air con full blast with only one window open causing my house to turn into a huge air draft cabinet (the fumes are BAD NEWS).
Mostly find wedges are my fav. Heaps of different size for the 'little ones' faces. I wash them a laundry bag with baby soap so if any trace remains after the final rinse there are no tears if they get in eyes. Sad

Baby soap! Great idea. I hand wash mine but oh what a pain, ,y least favorite job.

I don't know how to use a "hot wire", or even what that really means. Are there any other suggestions for how to cut them? I used a scissors, and a bread knife, but neither leave nice, straight edges. Please help! I bought more round ones, but need to cut them to use them. Thanks!

Apparently if you wet them or freeze them before cutting it is easier.

Personally, I take the round ones and hold them in one hand, holding to they stay taut, then using larger sheers cut through them in one cut... I have nice straight edges all the time.

Use large enough scissors that you can actually make the cut in one go...and hold them straight.

You could use a paper cutter. The kind where you pull down the knife to cut.
It works very well and leaves a nice straight edge.
