I like how the children's profiles are not all the same way, it fits very nicely.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13924212139746247500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363482306717127753.post-13071945477639901992009-05-22T06:50:29.426-04:002009-05-22T06:50:29.426-04:00What a cute idea!

My mom used to do this with my sisters and I when we were growing up, only she'd just tape a piece of construction paper onto the wall and trace our shadows. :) Then she'd tape the paper to a piece of black card-stock and cut out the image. Taking a picture would be much easier, though, since the kids wouldn't have to stand still for too long and the detail is better!

(it helps of you have a cutting mat, otherwise lay something down so you don't cut your table)<br />5. frame. i used spray adhesive to attach the silhouettes to the blue carstock and then put it in the frame. <br /><br />the frames were the most expendice part of the project. about $30, I think. I spent around $2 for the scrapbook paper.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148211919396920179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363482306717127753.post-86579011686132838522009-05-20T09:20:15.190-04:002009-05-20T09:20:15.190-04:00hey!

They are so cute - you'll have to show me how to make them. <br /><br />I agree that I like how the parents face each other and think it would look nice to have the kids all facing right. It's kind of fitting though that Sutton is facing the other way...her little independent/I'll do what I want personality! Either way though it looks awesome!jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585774854581037963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363482306717127753.post-62436436646901286392009-05-20T09:19:30.993-04:002009-05-20T09:19:30.993-04:00I love those!
