  1. Fun sounding plans. For the hair one it might help to use hair gel or something to keep the hair as you arrange it.

  3. The trick with the matboard letter is to take a picture of it in an interesting way. They look really good in places where you wouldn't expect it. You end up feeling like you are making a Sesame Street segment.
