The Old Crow


I'm loving this silhouette crow picture. The reason why I love it so much is because I made it and it cost me zero dollars. Did I mention it only took 15 minutes to make too? So darn easy and so darn sweet.
So here is what you need...
First, I googled crow sihlouettes, found one I liked and printed it. Then I found paper I liked, cut out the crow image. The printer ink wasn't as strong or vibrant as I would have liked. So after I cut out the image, I went over it with a Sharpie Marker.  I will warn you, it will leave some streaking, so be careful. Then I cut out the size of the background paper I would need to fit in the frame that I already had. I taped the image on to the background paper popped it into the frame and voila!

I was also thinking it would be sweet to do a similar idea with a cat or an owl for hallowe'en.
Thanks for stopping by. If you are a Canadian, have a happy Thanksgiving weekend!

  1. Very nice. I don't think I'll show my 8 year old or I will have cats all over the house (I already do actually but not this kind). Happy Thanksgiving.

  10. Hello there and many thanks for sharing such a prim project.

    Simple and quick blog-makes are fun to follow and easy to do.

    I am obsessed with crows and pumpkins so I can't wait to set up my new printer.

    Thanks again.
