Materials Needed
Large cardboard box
Sheetrock knife

Instructions
Find a photo of the guest who cannot attend your party; and, on the computer, crop the head and print the head so it fills the entire 8.5" x 11" paper. Glue the paper head to the top of the cardboard. With a knife, cut the cardboard following the outline of the head. Cut leaving a neck and shoulders and a torso. Place a shirt over the head and prop the head and torso on a chair at the dinner table.
Tips and Tricks
- Make sure you start with cardboard at least 3 feet long. Make sure the 2 dimensional guest has at least one drink in front of them and be sure to send pictures of the cardboard guest to the live version of the guest! :-)
