EveryManALion,
If you have a big dollar store near you they should sell hand sized pipe cutters - don't sweat the quality - it's a one time use. Cut down the bars, chuck it in the garbage. I've done it myself. Works like a charm.
I'd take the bar off the bike. Set the bar on a table when you measure so if the bar has sweep back you'll be good.
Measure from the edges of the serrated edge in the center outwards on both sides with a measuring tape like used for clothing measurement or a retractable tape but be sure to choose a spot to the inside of the end - like the 1 inch mark as your starting point. Measure out, mark the spot with tape and cut right against the inside tape line . That way you are guaranteed to still have even bars. It's kinda' fun and satisfying.
