Silhouettes



At Disneyland there has always been a little shop on main street where you can have a silhouette made. You sit there and this lady in an old fashioned dress cuts it out just by looking at you. It is amazing. My sister and I had one done for my mom once upon a time. In all my trips to Disneyland with my kids I have never had one done. I almost forgot about it!!

Now silhouettes are one of the things that are popping up all over the place. I so could have been ahead of the trend!

If you are up to trying it yourself, Monica at The Homespun Heart made her own here by taking profile pictures of her kids, printing them out, and then cutting them out with black paper underneath.

And if you aren't up for trying it yourself, the picture above was done by Cut Arts. There are some amazing things on his site. You should check them out. You can send him a picture and he will hand cut a silhouette for you. If you can't get to Disneyland to have it done in person, this is probably the next best thing!
