This project has got to be the highlight of 31 Days for me. When I first saw these "vintage pop silhouettes" on Pinterest, I completely fell in love with them. I adore everything classic! To think that non-crafty me could potentially capture such beautiful silhouettes of my children was thrilling.
The silhouettes look impressive, but they are downright easy to make- an elementary schooler could do it. The *hardest* part for me was getting my 2 year old to stand still for her profile shot. It took us about 15 tries, no joke.
Because I am impatient and lack crafting brilliancy, I did smudge them a tad. FYI, you should probably wait for each layer to dry before moving on to the next step ;).
The original pin used bright, stand-out colors. I chose to go with a simple black and white because I wasn't sure of where I was going to hang them {still trying to decide}, and black and white seemed safe for wherever they might end up.
This project was also very wallet friendly. I was able to purchase all of my supplies at Wal-Mart. The priciest necessity is the Modpodge.
Oh, was it fun to capture my little girl's sweet curly locks and eyelashes!
