jig saw works great. its leaves the edges a little rough, but that can easily be sanded to a nice buffed finish.

m friend used a hack saw and it came out really good and was really easy to cut.

easiest way instead of sanding is to use a lighter on the edges when your done cutting.

one more question! How do you line them up! Like so you know where to cut them at?

I used electrical tape to mark, then a hack saw, works really well. You are going at a slow enough pace were it's hard to mess up

electrical tape probably works the best, but you could try a marker, especially the dry erase kind, so if you mess up it won't be permanent.
