Pictures to be hung on the wall made from quite simple silhouettes can be effective and also fascinating into the bargain. Like many craft ideas, it does not entail buying lots of items. These pictures are attractive and will brighten up your walls, or anybody's [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you care to give them [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to.
You perhaps should give thought to how you would like to do it though. There [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] are so many varieties of frames available, you [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] can have single frames, double frames, sometimes hinged together or in some cases the space to have, up to about 5 pictures.
First of all, you will need a very clear profile to work from. So, to begin with, you need a good snapshot. Get your subject to face sideways to take the photo and take several, so you have a choice.
What will I actually need then? Firstly, some tracing paper, masking tape, some fairly small sharp scissors, a pencil, a spray glue, several photos of your subject, some soft black paper, a soft black pencil, or pen even, some white paper with a texture to it and, of course, your frame.
How do I start? Look at your photos and decide which one, or ones, that you want to use. Pick up your photograph and, if you have a board of some kind, put it on a board. Then put your tracing paper on top of this and tape all the sides down with the masking tape. With a sharpened pencil, trace round the outline of your photograph.
Once you have drawn round your photograph, be sure to add a curve shape at the foot of your tracing. In most cases this will be at the neckline, to finish it off, as it were! Take away your tape and remove your tracing paper. Think now, if you want this enlarged or made smaller, to suit your frame, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] as, at this stage, you could adjust it.
I have suggested burgundy paper, but you can choose any colour. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Well, you need this paper now to put your freshly traced paper on, with the pencilled side facing the paper. Then, masking tape it down. Now [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] press really hard and go round your image with [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] a pencil to transfer the shape to your paper.
Now we have reached a delicate operation which needs some patience! Take your craft knife and you now need to cut your shape, keeping to your outline. Not easy, I might add!
Whatever your frame size may be, you now need your textured white paper to cover it and, in fact, be about 1cm over all the edges really. Use your spray glue to cover the back of your silhouette and then this needs positioning in the centre of your white paper. Make sure that this has adhered well.
To give a nice finish, you could add a border to go round your shape. Another little trick [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you could always try, is to add some fine, wispy bits, of hair or eyelashes from little cuttings of your black paper.
Now this is completed, put your picture in the frame. This is an ideal project for using pictures of your family, friends or even your four legged friends!
