Deja Silhouettes

I wanted to get my brother silhouettes of his dog for christmas/house warming (he is closing on a condo next month). I planned on going on Etsy and having someone make them for him, but due to limited funding this time of year I decided to try and make them myself! And they came out great! Hooray! Now I can add making silhouttes to my resume!


I printed out pictures of the dog, then cut them out. Then traced the cut-out picture onto nice black paper. Some of the detailing was lost, but they still came out nicely.

Then I mounted them on nice white paper. I wanted to mount them on mat board, but I did this christmas eve, so I used what was easy to find and cut!

I wasn't sure which ones would look good, so I just made a bunch.

Then I picked 3 to frame, and Kevin can switch them out if he wants.




Then I wrapped them up and put them under the tree!
