Confession: I had never heard of a party photobooth until I started blogging. Crafters made all sort of clever designs on walls, and I wondered what in the world they were for? When I took a BlogShop class this summer there was a big ol’ photobooth where brave souls mugged for the camera. (I, of course, used a potted plant to hide my face. Very cool.)
I thought this holiday season was the perfect time to try one out. Because around my family? After a cocktail? Bring on the camera!
I love the idea of having a designated spot to capture memories. It’s an easy project that makes a holiday gathering warm and memorable. As a hostess, I need more things like scented candles and fresh flowers that deliver maximum impact with minimum effort.
This DIY photo booth backdrop came together in record time with just a few supplies from the dollar store.
Supplies needed
- Wrapping paper
- Snowflake ornaments
- Double sided tape
- Fishing line (or other string)
Instructions
Step 1
Tape a roll of wrapping paper high on the wall and let it hang all the way to the floor.
Step 2
Tie fishing line to snowflake ornaments and tape them to the ceiling at various heights.
Step 3
Finish by camouflaging the floor with a blanket or gift bags stuffed with tissue paper.
Step 4
Create a festive mood with soft Christmas music, dim the lights and burn holiday candles. Mix up a pitcher of cranberry margaritas (a necessary ingredient, if you ask me) and mug away!
