When you have your image traced, use your jigsaw to trace out your entire image.  When your image is cut out, use some sandpaper to lightly go around all of the edges of your board to smooth them out a bit and remove any rough cuts.

Then find the center of your image (or in my case each side) and hot glue your picture hanger onto the MDF board.  I marked my spots with a pencil, then added a glob of glue and placed the hanger in place.  Once the glue had dried, I added some more glue to go over top the hanger to make sure it was nice and secure to the board.

The nice thing about using MDF board is that it is very light and easy to hang a large item this way.









We also made a few more images to go along with her beach theme:



I used a yardstick and a permanent market to make the lines on the seashell to give it a bit more details.
