I've been wanting to try one of these for quite a while now but I have successfully talked myself out of doing it multiple times. What if it's too hard? What if I try and it just looks like crap?!! Well then just take it apart and try again☺ Just try. So I finally did! And it turns out it wasn't as hard as I had been thinking. And it didn't look like crap.
