Simple Silhouette

Capture your child's sweet face in this modern take on a classic portrait style.

1.     Photograph your child's head from the side.

2.     Enlarge the photo on your computer to a size you like, then print it in black and white. (Or you can enlarge an existing print on a copier.)

3.     Lay the image on top of a sheet of black paper. Cut around the head and shoulders, through both pieces of paper.

4.     Remove the back panel from a frame. Cover the panel with glue stick, then lay on of a piece of fabric for a background. Trim the fabric to fit the panel.

5.     Attach the silhouette to the fabric with glue stick. Reassemble the frame, and your art is ready to display.
