I thought I would share a project that I did a while ago. Back when this blog was pretty new, I posted about creating silhouettes without the need of fancy software, or paying a company to make them for you.
Recently I made some silhouettes of the babes to put in our living room. I kinda love them a lot.
Eventhough I already posted how to do this...I will give another quick lesson!
CREATING A SILHOUETTE
STEP 1: Take a profile picture of your subject. Against a plain wall is best but not necessary. For the baby, (since he can't hold his head up yet) I had my husband hold him up against his shoulder so I could snap a quick picture.
STEP 2: Download the picture to your computer and enlarge to the size you want. Holding up a piece of white computer paper (or something similarly transparent) trace the outline of their profile. Cut out and now you have a template.
STEP 3: Use your template to trace onto another piece of paper or fabric, whatever your choice is for the finished silhouette.
I got the frames at the thrift store, painted them black, and then mounted the silhouettes onto white cardstock.
