This is my preferred method for silhouettes. I think I would really, really mess up anything involving a projector. (That's the "classic" method, yes?) And neither of my children would sit still long enough for me to actually finish it, so there's that.
NICE! That's a good idea! I've been wondering what to do with my kiddos and putting up more pics on the walls. This just might be what I'll do! Thanks chica!
How awesome is that?! GUess I will have to do this with my kiddos. (No worries, I won't be doing them for the whole neighborhood as I did with the aprons. I am getting ORDERS for my aprons now. Cracks this non-sewer up!) You are so creative.
Awesome. I've been wanting to make silhouettes of my girls for awhile now but wasn't sure how to go about it! I am not too good with the drawing! Anyway, thanks for sharing this super easy way to do it!
I'm going to do this today! I made these years ago (using projector) for my kindergarten class to give to their moms on mother's day. I have never done them for my own kids though. I'm thinking I'll cut mine out of black scrapbook paper and mounting it on scrapbook paper so it will be acid free and last a while. ;) THANKS!!!!!

3. Cut it out

ReplyDeleteBrilliantly simple! You need to put this on a decor blog linky...they'll eat it up!
