Silhouette Wall Art

Silhouette. Done.

This has been on my to-do list forEVER. I was kinda scared to do it; the process just seemed time-consuming and...difficult. 

But the good news? It really wasn't. 

Especially f you use the photo method, like I did -- versus the tracing-a-shadow-on-the-wall method which, with a four-year-was impossible. At least my four-year-old.

Want to know how I did it so you can give it a try, like, tonight? Ok, here goes.

All I did was plop him down in front of a dvd. Took his profile pic. Printed it out. Traced it on black construction paper (granted, this is not the best black paper to use but it was all I had). Mod-Podged it to my painted canvas. Let it dry for, maybe, a minute. Then Mod-Podged the whole canvas, including the silhouette. My turquoise paint-job looks a little spotty here, but in person it looks great (or, good enough!). Give it a try! As soon as I can find another 8x8 canvas, I'm going to do my daughter's.
Love the modern color and how it pops in my living room!
