Were any of you wondering if my A Pinteresting Saturday segment had died??
Well...
It's ALIIIIIIIVE!
I have had this project done for well...forEVA. Seriously. I had it the poster done way before Bean was born. Alas, I have not had hardly any desire to get on this thing they call the computer. Gasp. Shocking. I know, right? So finally months later this project from my Pin Boards is making it's debut on the blog.
The original came from Sugar Bee Crafts--

Like her I had seen the tutorial on I Am Momma awhile ago...WAY before the glorious Pinterest. When I came across her refresher I pinned it immediately.
I just KNEW I had to do this for Oldest's room. I had the perfect idea for his Star Wars room.
We just happened to have a Darth Vader costume laying around. Bonus!
Dress up Oldest and start shooting photos.

Turn my favorite into black and white (the photos have to be b&w to print of an engineer print).

Then go over to Staples or a similar office supply store and ask them to print off an engineer print. They come in multiple sizes. I picked the one that fit closest to the poster frame I had purchased from The Mart.
Because I was putting mine in a frame I was able to skip her adhesive step...honestly probably saving myself quite a bit of hassle.
Once the poster was all framed I found it a home on Oldest's bedroom wall. Yes, I know there are empty frames and THIS is totally missing still from the wall. I am getting there people...eventually.

The whole process was E.A.S.Y. Printing off this poster was also cheap, I mean cheapity, cheap, cheap. I am super thrilled with how it turned out and would recommend this project to anyone.
Oldest loves the personalized poster sized picture of himself.
