Tips to Make Your Own Cardboard Stand Up
Did you ever get the idea to make a "cardboard stand up", but had no idea how to go about it? Well I have to tell you I did and its not that hard to do.
Not only is it fun to do, but the idea's will never end to what you can do.
And the money you save will allow you to have a house full of people, with nobody really being there.
I played a little trick on my sister, who lives in different state than I do.
I live in Florida, and she lives in Ohio.
Because I live in a state that you can see almost anyone at anytime, its just so easy to get someone to believe you know somebody famous.
In reality I do live near Hulk Hogan, and my wife and I did meet him and his family some years ago.
Well, I decided to come up with a "fake" picture of me and our new President of the United States, Obama, and show him with My wife and I in our living room standing next to each other.
It was so cool, and I even started to think that it was real.
I sent the photo to my sister with a little message saying that I met the president at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino, while he was in disguise.
And he was with 4 secret service agents.
We invited him back to our house, and we are now friends.
Of course I didn't let the gag go on, but she did believe me and was shocked, till I let her in on the joke.
This is just one of the crazy idea's that I come up with, and you can create your own gags.
But the real great thing is you can keep "cardboard stand up" memories for ever.
Maybe you want to remember your grandparents as they were in life, or maybe someone is off to fight for our country overseas.
Just having them as they look now, can be very rewarding.
Let me give you some tips how you can create these yourself.
First off you use your computer and color printer.
You don't need to buy any 4 feet x 6 feet special paper.
You use paper that fits your printer and a software program that you use with your computer.
The software prepares your good quality photo to be printed into like a puzzle, that you assemble into a full size poster that you attach to a backing.
Your most important step is to get a good quality photo.
You can use a 35 mm camera or any digital camera can be usedwith atleast 4 mp.
Don't use the zoom when taking the photo.
Take the photo as close to the subject as possible, use a tripod to hold the camera still.
You want the best photo you can get because it will stay nice and clear when your software creates the enlargement for printing your "cardboard stand up".
