DIY Silhouettes and a Quick Clock Makeover!

What a busy month it's been! But, of course, I've found time to squeeze in a few projects. ;)

Here's a great vintage clock that I found at a thrift store (for six bucks!)

...and it works. If it didn't, I would have painted chalkboard paint on the face and drawn in a clock.

Here's a great way to make your own silhouettes.
I made mine in about 10 minutes, and here's how!
First, I dug around and found pictures of my girls where they are looking to the side.
Next, I printed out their pictures on regular white letter paper.
(make sure you zoom the picture in so that they fill up most of the page)
Cut out the silhouette, it should look like this...

Now flip them over. Next, I set them onto black construction paper and traced them with a pencil.

You can throw away the white paper and cut out the black silhouettes.

Ta da! Here they are... and do you see the clock? Gotta love that spray paint!

forgive my "before" pictures. . . i painted these a few months ago and did not think to take a "before" shot. so a pic taken 3 years ago of my son crawling under them will have to do:)

 

all it took was a little sanding, a lot of white paint, some antique paint, and a stencil for the HIS and HERS made from my sister's cricut. . . 

yes, i hope to be cool enough someday to have my own cricut or silhouette. . . someday abu
