DIY Silhouette

This is another project that was super easy and ended up a success! I've seen so many different types of silhouettes and haven't been ready to choose which kind I wanted and/or spend the money on it. I was also thinking something professional might be better for when Ellie is a little older :)

This is where I took most of my "direction" from - www.casasugar.com/DIY-How-Make-Silhouette-Portraits-829488

• I don't have a fancy photoshop type program, so I took a side shot of Ellie and printed it out (in the size I wanted the silhouette to be).


• Cut it out (with very sharp kitchen scissors)


• Traced it on black cardstock from the craft store (62 cents for a large piece)


• Cut the silhouette out (again with the kitchen scissors)


• Pasted it on a piece of white card stock (62 cents)


• Framed it (Home Goods around $7)
