A note on selecting your photo: Good choices for photo pop-outs are photos where you’ve got a clear subject (person(s) or thing(s)) that you’d like to separate from the background. Photos where the pop-out is anchored to the bottom of the frame look best. Ingredient List
Step 1: Back Your Photos with Foam Core
Once the foam core is attached to your photos and the adhesive has dried, use your ruler and X-Acto knife to trim away any excess foam core. If all went well, you now have two photo/foam core slabs. Set one aside to use as your photo base later and work with the other slab to create your pop-out. Step 2: Cut Out Your Pop-Out
Step 3: Clean Up Your Pop-Out
Step 4: Make A Simple Photo Stand
Cut out a piece of foam core that’s 2 inches longer than your photo, and about 2/3s the width. This piece will become our photo stand. Using a ruler or your photo as a guide, cut a rectangular strip out of the photo stand. This strip should be as long as your photo, and as wide as your foam core is thick. For best results, angle your cut toward the front of your photo stand so when you stick your photo into the stand, it’ll lean back a bit. Clean up any loose foam core and stick your base photo in your stand. Step 5: Put it All Together!
Because your pop-out will sit on top of the photo stand, it’ll be lined up slightly above the corresponding subject in the base photo. This helps hide the base photo subject and enhances the pop-out effect. All done! What to Do NextA few ideas for taking your photo pop-outs to the next level:
