Homemade Valentines: Sweet Silhouette

on January 23, 2010 at 10:14 AM

Looking for a cute, inexpensive Valentine's Day prezzie for the grandparents? I had a silhouette of my daughter professionally done for Christmas and it was the hit of the holidays. I paid a lot of money for it and now I'm kicking myself because I found this easy, cheap way to DIY.

You can get step-by-step silhouette instructions on The Anderson Crew blog. It takes less than 30 minutes to make, and depending on the frame you choose, you can do it for less than ten bucks!

Emily, the blogger there, has all kinds of great ideas for all kinds of things ... so be prepared to get inspired! (The silhouette she made of her daughter is pictured here.)

That is very cool! I think I am going to do some of my kids for myself and the grandmas for mother's day!

We did this in Kindergarten only the teacher sat us down with a black papaer background and shown a projector light at us and then stood behind and traced. They were more 'Life Size' then this, but fun to do as well..... can't decide if we'll do this for my two year old or not... it's kind of hard to get a good profile shot of him!
