Silhouette celebrity cutouts are great for Hollywood-themed parties or for Halloween. You can make large celebrity silhouette cutouts for decorations with just a few things from the craft store.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Go through a celebrity magazine and cut out pictures of your favorite celebrities. Make sure they are well-defined pictures, preferably of the celebrity standing.

  2. Step 2

    Glue the cutout onto a piece of cardstock, and then cut the cardstock around the shape of the celebrity.

  3. Step 3

    Place a large piece of butcher paper on a flat wall. Make the butcher paper as large as you want your silhouette cutout to be.

  4. Step 4

    Darken the room. Place your small cutout between a lamp and the butcher paper. When the lamp is turned on, you should be able to see the shadow of the cutout projected onto the butcher paper.

  5. Step 5

    Use a pencil to trace the shadow onto the butcher paper. When you're done, use black paint to fill in the silhouette.

  6. Step 6

    Cut the silhouette out of the butcher paper. Mount on a large piece of cardboard. Use a small triangle of cardboard attached to the back of the silhouette to make it stand up.
