With my photo obsession it's probably not a surprise that I decided to set up a little DIY photobooth at my baby shower. After looking around a little, I decided to make some fun props for people to play around with when they take their photos at the photobooth.
Materials Used:
- Adhesive felt - I got one red and one black ($1.69 CDN per sheet at Michael's)
- Cardstock to print the props onto. Regular paper would be way too flimsy
- Kabob sticks (or the random sticks I found in the craft aisle at Wal-Mart)
- Glue gun (or another strong adhesive for attaching the stick to the prop)
- Print props onto cardstock and cut those babies out. I doubled my cardstock for a couple of props by gluing another piece of prop-shaped cardstock to it. Not necessary, but useful if you want the prop to be a little stronger.
* I apologize for the horrible photos. I made the props at work at the only camera I had access to was a cell phone.

- Cut out a piece of felt big enough to fit your prop, and stick the two together.
- Cut out your prop in the felt. Cutting adhesive felt is NOT fun. I found it easier to do a quick, messy job, then clean it up a bit afterwards.
- You can write on your prop with permanent marker to fill in little details (see bow tie below)
- Glue stick to your prop.
- Enjoy your props and take tons of fun photos. Bonus: if you blog about your props and photos and show me the link. Here are some of mine in action:
