Begin to cut the places where you marked for the numbers to be with scissors. It may take a few re-heatings to cut all the marks. Do not try to work with it when its cooled! It will snap.

Fold down one edge of where the cuts were made and let it cool. Try to go fast so you dont have to reheat. If you attempt to reheat, the folds youve already made will come undone.
