I love that I'm able to do crafts all the day for a particular purpose, my wedding! Tonight I made some profile silhouette paintings that will be framed and used as decor at the wedding.
first, I took a profile picture of Cody and uploaded it to my computer. I then opened it in word and used the picture format tool to remove the background and it left this ^^. then, I washed it out so it would print really lightly (no need to use the ink) and printed it out. I enlarged it too so that it would take up a good amount of an 8x10 picture frame.
i had some extra burlap leftover, some cardboard boxes from moving, and used a paintbursh and black paint. I cut out the heads and taped them to the burlap to hold in place.
I then painted the edges of the cutout, allowing it to get on the burlap some.
once I removed the paper, I was left with this outline, which made painting it super easy. I then just painted the inside!
I did the same thing with my own picture.
