DIY: Flash Card Garland

I have made these for a couple of parties and they have proven to be a hit.  Fairly simple for the crafty type, and for those of you who are not... I will get to you in a moment.

Step one: Take a photo and upload it into a photo-editing program 

Step Two: Black & white the photo & adjust the image using the cartooning effect

Step Three: Erase any definition or background in the image & adjust the size to 5x7

Step Four: Add the text to your photo {P is for Party, B is for Boy etc...} & print out on white card stock

Step Five: Watercolor or use colored pencil to lightly fill in select areas

Step Six: Round the corners and glue to a slightly larger colored card stock paper

Step Seven: Hole punch the upper corners, thread with ribbon & hang! 

We have used it on a mantel, highchair or even to adorn a door frame!
