How to make a cardboard stand up of someone!

Step 5 Mount to cardboard/foamcore.

I couldn't find any cardboard pieces long enough for this project so I went with foamcore.
Standard foamcore peices are 30" by 40" by 3/16" inch thick.
For a skinnish 6'4 person, 2 peices of foamcore are enough to mount the photo to. However you will need to build structural supports as well as "legs".

I started out by trimming the excess white off the photo. Securing two foamcore peices together from behind with more foamcore I then mounted the image using spray adhesive from 3M called Super 77. A word of caution, although completely convenient to use and cheap I reccomend experimenting with other adhesives. I would try using the Kinkos adhesive backed photo paper. Just peel and stick. I ended up spraying the foamcore with Super 77 all at once. The Super 77 was fast and cheap but no manipulation was possible after the photo made contact with the Super 77 adhesive on the foamcore. Thus I ended up with some bubbles. If you squished the bubbles they made wrinkles.
