Does playing boomerang can makes someone looking hunkier? Or having more abbs just like him? And was that paper like HVS or A4 paper? That'd be easy to get then..

*_Lifehack_** - glue the sheets together, then cut it out,* that way not only is cutting it out easier (you don't have to worry about the paper shifting when you hold it), but you also don't have to be too careful when aligning cut out pieces to match, because they're already glued together.

[@biancabrooks280]

Mr. NPC well, depending on your printer, that may leave a sliiiight bend in your cardstock.

@Mr. NPC when he started cutting the two sheets of cardboard at the same time I cringed so hard.

[@squalltheonly]

@@SasuNaru17021995 why you cringed?

[@biancabrooks280]

Nameless Pierrot same!! And why did he trace in the center?! I could have for both on the same sheet!

[@SasuNaru17021995]

@@squalltheonly Because if your design depends on it being very perfectly shaped, you can't just be doing that because whenever you cut two sheets of paper together there's going to be some places where it's not straight, and you can see it when he's folding the angles at the end, how one of the wings is slightly different, and it sucks.

[@squalltheonly]

@@SasuNaru17021995 yeah, I noticed the 2 shapes werent same size. So how you fix that? Cut them together but not following the line, then glue them, then follow the line?

A homeless center, McDonalds, shopping mall, parking garage etc all qualify as 'indoors'. Heck you probably live in a cardboard fortress with plenty of indoor space and spare cardboard to make a arsenal of boomerangs to throw around.
