This year I finally gave into my mom and gave her ornaments for Christmas instead of buying a gift. I've always wanted to do some silhouette crafts for myself and thought a silhouette ornament would make the perfect gift for Grandma and Grandpa.
I got the wood pieces at Michaels for .35 a piece (I think.) I also got the paper at Michaels. I loved the cracked look of it. I attached the paper onto the wood with mod podge and sanded down the edges. The easiest way that I've found to make the silhouettes is to take a picture. I just printed the picture out and taped it to some black card stock. Then I took an razer blade and cut out the picture and the card stock at the same time. It was really easy and exact (which is kind of important with silhouettes.) I mod podged the silhouette to the wood pieces and then did a couple layers over top as well. Finally, I took some antiquing glaze that I got at Lowe's and put it on the edges. So simple and just the right price!
