silhouettes...a tutorial (kinda)

I wanted to share with you how I made these silhouettes that are in our "new" hall.  I did not come up with this idea, but I don't remember where I read it from a few years ago.  I know there are a ton of silhouette tutorials, but this is one is so simple.


Here's what you need:
a camera
a printer
card stock to print the pic on
card stock to mount the pic on
black acrylic paint
a paintbrush
scissors
adhesive 


First, take a picture of your kids or whoever from the side.  Then, print it on some card stock.



Next, carefully, cut out the picture and make sure you include all the details...curls, eyelashes, etc.  Paint the pic that you just cut out black.  When it is dry, glue it to your background card stock or any kind of paper or fabric and frame!



Tada!  Pretty simple, right?
