I stopped into Michael's today to purchase a few materials for a soon-to-be DIY project. I fell upon a new aisle (or new to me) that was quite intriguing... an aisle for photo booth props! No, this wasn't an aisle filled with feather boas and other accessories like that, it was an aisle filled with unfinished wooden props to design and decorate on your own!
I thought this was so awesome because there are endless opportunities to make your props fun and fabulous... grab some scrapbook paper and Mod Podge them up! Add some glitz, glitter, and sequins! Play with fun paint colors or coordinate a specific color theme! It's all up to your imagination!
I especially loved these wooden props because I knew they would last much longer than the paper ones that are normally used. Reuse them from party to party, and don't worry about wear and tear.
I created my first photo booth this past New Years Eve and whipped it up in no time. It was really easy finding free printable props online. I found mine over at I Heart Naptime and In the Treehouse. I printed them on cardstock paper and attached a shish kabob stick to each (grabbed anything I had in the house!). :-)
I found an adorable and free printable Happy 2014 banner from Paging Supermom and began cutting away! I then taped a roll of gold wrapping paper to my wall (husband wasn't happy) and voila!
Although I saved the props for another party, I definitely think the wooden props would be a great addition to what I have. I didn't purchase anything today, but you should! If you're interested in making your own photo booth anytime soon, check out Michael's and the links above to help you out!
