Pretty easy to make the silhouettes. I took a profile picture of each child. I printed the picture on my home printer. Then I brought the picture to the UPS store and had them enlarged to the size I wanted. Cut the heads out and then trace them using chalk on any paper you want. I used heavy card stock form Michals Craft Store. Finally I bought cool art paper for the background. You can't tell from the photo but the paper behind the heads is foiled. My plan is to change the paper periodically!
