With some care, you can cut OUT the shapes needed for
Fussy Cuts, and still be able to see the surrounding area.
Dremel tools are good for this.
Plexiglass is easy to cut with a band saw as well. Once you have your shape cut, use a fine piece of sandpaper to smooth the edges. Works great!
I almost forgot, you can also use a wood burning tool to etch designs onto the plexiglass as well.
