here's all 3:

here's my favorite map 1:

here's the fabric 1:

here's the german map 1: i love this one cause it was 100% free as I got the map book for free at a garage sale and I used a button I found and recycled paper. :

I miss cup and spoon.....

I'm looking for some advice (well duh!) Has anyone here cut their own hair, and had it been a success? I don't mean just the bangs, but the rest of the head as well. If you did, could you please share any tips or tricks?

hello! i've been cutting my own hair for the past yr or so. I started cause it was way too expensive to get my hair cut all the time
but ya! it turns out well
here's a pic of the last haircut I gave myself(I did it yesterday actually)


hmm tips?
well to start off with you need sizzors, i wouldnt worry about gettin really fancy hair-cutter's sizzors. I usually use just thoose regular kid-sizzors with the plastic handles or my huge black metal sewing sizzors.
so the most important tip is that a perfectionist should NEVER cut hr own hair. I myself am a very messy person so self-haircutting is a great thing fo rme cause I dont really mind when it comes out choppy (messy ,
i usually just cut off as much as i want and then hack at my head untill I like how it looks. it's actually REALLY fun just to cut off everything.
hmm so last tip is cut it like an inch longer than you want it till you get to the end so that if you make a mistake you have some hair left to try ad fix it.
I hope that helps, honestly there isn't much method to my maddness as you can see in the almost-mullet which i'm sporting now
hope that helps!
