What a great DIY portrait project. Design Sponge Online featured Alexandra Hedin, lifestyle and entertaining expert's latest DIY idea. These modern silhouette “portraits” of your family (friends, pets, bf/gf, wife/hubbie/ ex-wife/ex-hubbie, pets) is so creative, but super easy to make! Had to share.
What You’ll Need:
1. Camera
2. Printer (or have your pictures printed at a copy center)
3. 8.5″ x 11″ labels
4. Scissors
5. A Canvas of your choosing
6. Paint
How-To:
Step 1: Take a picture in profile
Step 2: Print profile picture on an 8.5” x 11” label (Available at office supply stores)
Step 3: Cut out the profile using fine tip scissors. Be sure to catch all of the details!
Step 4: Remove the backing of the label and apply the outer part of the label to a canvas. I had pre-painted mine with a chocolate brown paint and let dry overnight.
Step 5: Using the label as a stencil, fill in the negative space with paint that contrasts the base canvas color.
Step 6: Remove the ‘label stencil’ and let dry.
Step 7: Touch up the edges of the profile with base color of paint if needed.
