{DIY} Silhouettes + Pumpkins

Pin It

This DIY is perfect for making a silhouette alone, or a silhouette pumpkin for your fall wedding or home porch decor.  I'm sort of OBSESSED with this.  I've wanted to do just a silhouette of my little one for a while now (but who can get a 10 month old to sit still to get a good profile pic!?) and now I want to do a family of silhouette pumpkins for our porch.  And for those having a fall wedding, I think this might be THE perfect little detail to add, and so easy to do!

What you'll need:  

- computer and printer

- white printer paper

- medium to large pumpkin (orange or white, but I think white would look best)

- black acrylic paint

- stick pins

- small flat craft paint brush and small tipped detail paint brush

- scissors

- hot glue gun and glue sticks

- optional: black lace, fabric, or beads for border of silhouette 

For the full DIY instructions, go to the HGTV site here.

If you just want to do a paper silhouette, for home decor, stationery, or some little wedding details, another great silhouette DIY can be found here on Design Sponge.  You can do wedding signage, home decor, and I think these would make great gifts too!
