This was found at www.countryliving.com . I really like this idea. Even having the eyes glowing or blinking on and off.
STEP 1: Make a black-and-white copy of a portrait on printer paper and cut out.
STEP 2: To "age" the picture, lightly brush it with a sponge dipped in a solution of a few drops of black craft paint mixed with water. Let the paper dry.
STEP 3: Cut a piece of card stock the same size as the photo, glue to the photo's back, and let dry. With an X-Acto knife, cut out the eyes of the picture's subject(s), piercing through the card stock and creating holes about 1/4 inch in diameter.
STEP 4: Open the frame's back, remove the glass, then fit the photo inside.
STEP 5: Insert red mini LED Christmas lights (try Superior Holiday Lighting's flattop version, $11.26 for a 25-foot string; 1000bulbs.com) through the back of the eyeholes. Plug in the lights, then replace the frame's backing — securing it with tape if necessary — and drape with fake cobwebs.
Steal this idea! Add a little extra bite to your photos with fangs: Cut small triangles from white paper and glue or tape them to the subject's mouth.
Paranormal Portraits
You'll never look at loved ones the same way after transforming their images into a ghostly display.
