Craft Time

My friend Mandy asked how to make the silhouette below. It was super easy.

1. Take a profile of your subject.
2. Print the picture out from your computer.
3. Trace around the edge of the silhouette with a dark pen for your cutting line.
4. Gluestick the edge of the picture to a piece of black construction paper. Keep clear of the cutting line as you do not want that part to be stuck to the final cut-out.
5. Cut out the image.
6. Take the black image and glue it to a white piece of construction paper.
7. Viola! Super easy and inexpensive Christmas present, or artwork for your house.
