Shhhhhhhhh

Just finished this project, and couldn't wait to share it! It's a birthday present for my boss, silhouettes of her kiddos. So shhhhh, her birthday isn't until next week ;)




How to:


First, take a backlit picture for a sharp silhouette.
Next, upload it into a ms word type of program, and adjust the contrast and re-size to what you'd like the final product to be.

 Cut out the silhouette, and trace onto a nice black paper. To avoid unwanted pencil lines, remember to flip it at this point if you'd like it facing a certain direction.
 Pick out a cute paper (little K loves butterflies), and trace the insert of your favorite frame for sizing.
Paste or tape your silhouettes in place. 

The hardest part of this project is getting them to stand still!! :)
