Easy-to-Cut Silhouette Designs (Other Paper Crafts)
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Here's a foolproof and inexpensive way to make charming, traditional silhouettes. Artist Betsy Christy has created a delightful selection of 29 original pictures that are so easy to cut out and make into silhouettes that even children can join in the fun.Appealing scenes include youngsters sledding, skating, building a snowman, and engaging in other seasonal activities; cute little girls chasing a butterfly, playing with a pinwheel, and walking in the rain; and boys playing with a puppy, pushing a wheelbarrow and riding a tricycle. Other cheerful designs depict leprechauns and fairies, reindeer and a carriage, butterflies and birds, and many other seasonal, animal, and floral scenes.Accompanied by concise, easy-to-follow instructions, the designs are crisply printed on one side of each page with solid black on the other. Just select the one you wish to cut out, remove that page, carefully cut out the small areas, then cut around the borders, and you've made a handsome ready-to-use silhouette. They're perfect for framing, mounting on a plaque, adhering to decorative accessories or trimming cards, lampshades, notepaper, posters, plus many other craft projects.

I found this book to be alot of fun. The pictures are easy to do yet detailed and the end results were really nice. I had never done this kind of craft before and this book gave me a chance to do so. There are a variety of pictures, mostly children playing and such, they are all different sizes and could be used for many different things. I would highly recomend this book to anyone who would like to try the craft of paper cutting.

This is a book of patterns that are printed on a page with solid black on the reverse side. All you have to do is remove the page from the book and cut. I will make a copy of each pattern before removing them from the book. That way I can make more than one cutting.

A very nice book on silhouettes, a craft that has almost been forgotten. If you enjoy crafting you will like this book.

This is a very nice book. I have not had a chance to use it yet, but instructions are clear and I am anxious to do so.

I loved this book so much I ordered it again. The patterns are delightful. I would love to see more by this artist.

Arrive fast and was in great condition. Thank you. 5 Stars.
