Before and After (Thrifty) TV Console

... a new home for my TV (and lots of storage)

for less than $50!

Good day friends...

After taking a picture, open it on your image editor (paint,Photoshop,Microsoft picture,etc) and zoom in (or out) until you have the size you want for you frame (I did mine at 105%). 

 Paso 1.

Abre tu foto en cualquier programa para editar fotos (paint,Photoshop,Microsoft picture,etc) y el zoom dentro o fuera hasta que tenga el tamaño que desee para tu marco (yo la hice a 105%).

 Paso 2.

Coloca una hoja de papel blanco sobre la imagen (monitor) y trasa con cuidado la imagen usando un lápiz.

Step 3.

Cut the white paper and place it in the opposite direction of how you wanted (if I want my silhouette facing left, then trace it facing right). Trace it unto the black paper.

 Paso 3.

Corta el papel blanco y ponlo sobre el papel negro para trasarlo otra ves. Colocalo en la dirección opuesta de la que deseas (si quiero que mi silueta este viendo a la izquierda, la voy a trazar viendo a la derecha).
