Silhouette Artwork....decorate your walls with custom wall art!

I recently received Lowe's Creative Ideas magazine in the mail.
I always love when it's in my mailbox!  So many great ideas.
One of the many ideas in the magazine is this silhouette artwork.
My s-i-l enjoyed this gift of her 3 kids and their family "monogram" with all of their initials.

SILHOUETTE ART BOARDS

• Cut  1/2" plywood to desired size.  I used 12" squares.
• Take a photo of your model's profile against a lightly colored background and print in the size you would like.
• Cut out the silhouette, tape it to the plywood and trace around it with a pencil.
• Paint carefully around the outline on the outside of the profile in a dark colored paint.  I used craft paint raw umber.
• Seal with matte or satin finish spray.
• MONOGRAM tile:  I used my SilhouetteSD cutting machine to cut vinyl 6" square letters for the family monogram.  You could also use the same painting technique described above and paint the letters.  Paint a slogan or last name over it all in a different color.
• Attach picture wire to the back of each square of plywood and they are ready to hang!
