I created this group of printable sheet that you will need to glue together by overlapping the printed edge lines with each other, here are the links for the needed templates and a reference pictures on how to put them together. Download the templates here:

template 5 | template 6 | template 7 | template 8

template 9 | template 10 | template 11

After gluing your templates together using glue sticks you will need to trim the shape of the gingerbread man using scissors.

Place your cut shape on top of your foam board, if you are using white foamboard make sure the use the metal reflective end as your top surface since removing the metal like foam is easier than removing the transparent film from the other end.

Secure your template to the foam board with masking tape, then you can proceed cutting around the foam paper shape using the hot wire foam cutter.
