I suppose if you could build some sort of circular cutting device that has the right diameter, it would go a lot easier, but that seems difficult. You'd need to find a metal tube of the right size and sharpen it to a blade, then rotate it against foam glued to a mylar/taped aluminum foil layer. (Or against foam/taped aluminum separately and then glue.) I suppose mylar balloons might work if flattened and glued to a thin stiff piece of plastic also? That would work. Perhaps there's some dremel bit sets that would include this kind of cutting tool? I did find a round cutting bit in my collection, but it's specially made to cut round holes in doors for locks. Way too big. But if you can find the right sized tool, or make the right sized tool it would work. I did mine all by hand with an Xacto blade, which is a bit boring and makes for rough work. In some cases the geometry of the aluminum rounds failed to work, etc. But if there was a tool to get them all to be the same shape/size, it would work much better. http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-93807097-Circle-Cutter-Replacement/dp/B0006HU… Something like the above might work, but I'm not sure about the diameter - the 1" minimum this thing does is too big. Hmmm, perhaps cutting a tin soup can, then sharpening the edges with a file and curling it on itself until it's the right diameter on the sharp end, but makes a funnel on the other end, then attaching the funnel end into a wooden handle could make the right tool. Problem is the edge would need to be sharp and that kind of metal is a bit too soft. Sure, anytime. If you do find a tool, or are able to make one, let me know the details of what worked so I can add it to the FAQ.
