diy tinsel photobooth backdrop
We’re having our (2nd) annual Christmas party this year, so Mr. Lovely and I wanted to spice it up a bit with a photobooth! I wanted to have a super-sparkly, borderline-tacky backdrop, so here’s what we came up with. Wait ’til you see how easy it is. Just grab this stuff:
- an armful of tinsel garland (dollar stores are awesome for this!)
- dowel or pole of some sort
- twine
- thin wire
Get your pole, curtain rod, or (like me) detach the handle from your broom. No joke. This is my broom handle. Cut tinsel garland into 7-foot lengths. Fold each length in half, and at the folded point, attach it to your broom handle by wrapping it with a small amount of wire. Repeat this until your broom handle is full.
The next and last step is to tie a length of twine or rope to each end of the handle and hang it up on your wall. It should be pretty lightweight — a single nail is holding this one just fine.
BOOM. Backdrop. Just make sure that when you and your buddies are taking photos of each other, you keep the photos within the edges of the tinsel so that it looks like it goes on forever (like the photos below!). If you want to be able to take full length shots, just double up the length of your tinsel. Have a ball! xoxo
