A Dremmel! (or any other small motorized rotary tool)
Fiber-reinforced cutting wheels are preferable over the normal brittle ones.
I think you can also get little jigs that turn your rotary tool into a
little chop saw. This is great for making very straight and precise cuts.
You'll probably want a little sandpaper and a sharp knife to smooth the
edges out.
