photo booth props [wedding diy]

last year, chris and i went to two
bridal shows and i noticed that photo booths
were getting quite popular. i really liked
the idea of using it as a guestbook, too.

the guests get to keep a strip and also
put one in the guestbook with a message, how
adorable is that!

i noticed that there are fun props to use for
the pictures. i looked up a few on etsy and some
are really nice and the price ranges are
reasonable. knowing me, i like to make things
on my own. so, here are a few steps for
making your own photo booth props.

you will need:
-wooden dowels [i purchased a 50 pack for $3.00 on ebay]!
-multiple colors of cardstock
-pencil for tracing
-scissors
-tape or glue

the first thing to do is search google for
'photo booth prop templates.' there are many
options to chose from, just pick the ones you like.

next, i traced the pattern on to the cardstock
and cut them out. [you can also just print any
template out that you like and cut them that way,
i wanted some of my ties and bow ties to have
funky patterns, so i cut and traced on fun paper, too].

then stick them on the dowels!
here are some pictures:





this project was inexpensive and quick!
[and i saved some money by creating them myself]!
