Silhouette Wall Hanging

Silhouetted Wall Hangings

Materials:

photograph of a face or object (simple photos with minimal detail work best)
scissors
utility knife
black paper (the size of the photo)
background paper (size of the frame)
frame
glue stick
pencil

1. Choose a photo that is simple, preferably with a profile view of a person or object (figure A).

2. Using scissors and/or a utility knife, cut around the shape of the subject in the photograph (figure B); this shape creates a template.

Figure B

3. Trace the template onto the black paper (tracing on the back of the paper will keep pencil marks from showing) (figure C). Use scissors or a utility knife to cut out the traced shape.

4. Apply glue to the back of the image, mount the image on background paper and place in a frame (figure D).
