Glowing eyed portraits

All Posts, Halloween, Kids

  GLowing eyed portraitsTake any print or photo and transform them into Glowing Eyed Portraits in one simple step.  It’s so easy and super cool!

When you look at these pictures straight on, they look normal.

But check out what happens when you tilt them so they reflect some light!

Here’s how to do it:


1.  Print a photo of yourself or an old portrait off the web (I tweaked the color to make it spooky).
2.  Use a silver gel pen to lightly color in the eyes.  You can also draw fangs if you feel so inclined.
Draw lightly so you don’t make indentations.

  1. Ooo, I like them. Spooky! Very cool and so simple. Reminds me of the Haunted Mansion at Disney World. Those are really cool old portraits, too.

  5. Love this tutorial. I'm not one to normally participate in "blog awards" but I gave you one yesterday 😉 I love your blog!

  9. My husband is a chicken and would be skeeered to death of glowing eyes! (all the more reason to do it!) Not nice!!

  10. WOW!! GREAT IDEA! My kids would love this. Thanks for sharing another great idea on Thrilling Thursday @ Paisley Passions 🙂

  11. Sandra – This is so cool {and extra creepy for Halloween!} Love this idea! I'll be featuring this tomorrow – Stop by and grab a featured button if you like. Thanks for linking to The Sunday Showcase – I greatly appreciate it! Hope you have a fabulous week! ~ Stephanie Lynn

  13. What a clever and easy project. I bought some like this that were quite expensive at a fun boutique at Thanksgiving Point. This is great because you could do a gallery of them and it wouldn't cost much.

  14. This is so adorable! I'd love for you to link it to my Halloween party happening this weekend. It would be a wonderful addition!whilehewasnapping.blogspot.comKrista
