Use a ruler and a sharp craft knife to cut the foam board. You will need the following measurements to cut the base of your trophy. Cut each piece so that it is 18 inches tall, 8 1/2 inches wide on the bottom, and 2 1/2 inches wide at the top. These measurements will create a triangular shape. The sides of each piece are cut on a 30 degree angle so that they fit together seamlessly when glued together.
