I {heart} silhouettes... do you?


I have a mild obsession {that has been going on for some time now}! It's with these guys.... I loved them when I was little & my teacher gave one to Cooner of me {she still has it}! Then when Prissy was 4 we had hers done @ Disney World {I love how she has her tiara on in it- that was TOTALLY her at that age}. And, I adore the one we had made of the A-man when he was 4 @ Disney {he was clutching his Star Wars guy when the lady was making it....}. Anyway they are ALL over Europe & getting pretty popular here too. I have seen them on bags & pillows and it makes me want them {and I don't even know who they are of??}. Which brings me to my latest project.... Prissy needed a fun black & white {and possibly zebra striped} shirt to go with a fall skirt that I made. I got this idea to try to make Prissy a personalized "silhouette" t-shirt from a $4.00 Wally shirt. I'm still not sure if it's precious or scary? PLEASE tell me what ya think!!

First take a photo-
1. make it the size you want
2. print it out
3. cut it out

Next trace it on the shirt in pencil.

Then fill it in with paint...

Finally add a bow {I did manage to work in the zebra print- yeah} & ask your friends what they think.... And be HONEST, I can take it- she's my child for goodness sake! I can't have her mocked because of her crazy Momma- ha ha!!!!!!!!

p.s. I just saw child size Silhouette tees on Etsy for $29.00 + shipping & they are not personalized to your child! Does that make mine any less scary????

  1. Sweet Girl you paint & photo method was brilliant I loved it, I wish more Moms were so hands on with their kiddos. A little time & hard work does pay off with your great bargain.
