::DIY:: {Dog Silhouette Print}

I've decided to skip WILW this week. I love sharing my favorites every week, but today it just didn't seem right. I AM LIVID!

Why am I a sassafras today? The Casey Anthony trial & verdict has completely pissed me off, to be blunt.

1. I cannot believe she was found not guilty..still shocked.
2. The way that disgusting rat Casey & the whole defense team CELEBRATED her freedom when her child is gone was disgusting, offensive, and crude.

I do agree with the fact that the defense had better arguments than the prosecution, and that they didn't have any hard evidence...but COME ON we all know she murdered that innocent, beautiful child. I am currently hating America's system and the fact that she is getting away with murder.

What do you all think about the verdict? I'm interested to hear everyone's take on it. This sums up a little of my feelings...



Thanks for letting me rant a bit.

Remember when I posted on one of my WILW posts how much I loved this print from Etsy?





I knew I had to try to do it myself. Boo-yah!

I still need to buy a matte for it (I bought the wrong size originally) but here's what I did to recreate this look...

Steps:

1. Find and pick a picture of your pet that shows their silhouette really well - standing up seems to work the best.

2. If not already, get it blown up to the size you think will work best for your frame. I had the picture I used of Rocky blown up to a 5x7 (but I also used a 4x6) and you could even do an 8x10 too.

3. Cut around your pets silhouette.

he he..Hi Rockster.

4. Take that cut out picture and tape it to a blank white piece of heavy cardstock. Cut out your pets picture out on the cardstock.

5. Use any color cardstock you wish for the frame and glue/tape your pets silhouette on the paper, add a matte, and frame!

You can even add your pets name with a white marker/pen in the corner. I plan on doing this but haven't yet!

This is an awful picture but you can see I did a smaller version here.

I swear those shelves aren't crooked like how they look.

Here's the bigger version without the matte pictured.

I think it will be perfect when I get the matte for it and add Rocky's name in the bottom right corner :)

I spent about $3.00 for this project - I had cardstock already so I spent it on the frame and less than a $1 to get the picture blown up.

Obviously, this DIY is very very simple, but thought I would share in case any of you wanted to try it yourself before buying it.

What do you think?!

xo.

PS- I still hate you Casey Anthony.
