Photobooth Props DIY and Free Printable
This post is part of a campaign I’m doing with Shutterfly on How to Make a Great Photobooth. Over the next few weeks I’ll be giving DIY tips on how to make them. Every good party needs a photobooth! The best photobooths have props so your guests can cut loose and get silly. If you’ve moved on from just moustaches (so 2009!) here is a DIY to make a whole slew of 15 photobooth props (can you spy the hat from Kate and Will’s wedding?-very 2011!) The best part? There is a free downloadable pdf so all you need to do is print and your guests will be saying “cheese” in no time! You can find the directions and free download below!
Materials:
8.5×11 paper and 11×17 inch paper if you want to make the bigger pieces.
Dowels
Foam core
Spray Mount
Exacto Knife
Tape
Step One: Click on the free printable button (at the bottom of this post) and print out pictures of the props.
Step Two: Using the spray mount adhere the paper to the foam core.
Step Three: Using a sharp exacto knife cut out the shapes of the props.
Step Four: Tape the dowel to the backside of the prop. Voila! You’ve got your very own set of photobooth props!

Oh wow, that's cool, I especially love Beatrice' hat. Amazing
!
HEE HEE! It is not often that I laugh out loud at my computer screen but Beatrice's hat did it for me! AWESOME! Thanks so much, you made my day!
Thank you so much for this!! I was just about to make my own props for a party but you saved me!
Two awesome DIYs in a row. You're on a roll.
it might be my computer, but is the button supposed to lead to a PDF? it takes me just to a picture of the button. thanks! i love these!
I don't see a button either.
I am totally going to use these for my wedding. Great idea!
Can't wait to do these!! But I'm with the other ladies, I don't see the PDF button.
oh my goodness, I looove the princess beatrice hat!
Thank you!! These are fantastic! I'm anxiously awaiting the button (or maybe I just can't find it?) I recently discovered your blog, and I LOVE it!! Having just returned from a trip to Paris, I am enjoying the pictures of all of your Parisian adventures. Thanks again!
LOVE the hats and props…so adorable
The monocle just kills me! I love it!
I totally cracked up when I saw that you included Princess B's royal wedding hat…so funny!
love the idea! but one of these things is not like the other ones…
please check out this article from Native Appropriations that talks about the "hipster headdress"

Hi, Love this! And can be adapted to all sorts of situations. I just saw something similar to this at a shop ("Smets, a way of life"a design-y type store here in Luxembourg) and noticed that they used a piece of clear plastic instead of a dowel as the prop holder. That way the holder does not appear in the picture. Just thought I'd pass that along.
Haha! I LOVE that you did that hideous hat from the royal wedding. That's clever. Love this idea.

The entire is unexplored before you. So many place to visit, so many experiences are there for taking, and you are still worrying about the right tour program? Shed off all the worries and simply rush to http://www.righttoursntravels.com today, to have a journey of your lifetime.
I'm sincerely not trying to call you out. And I doubt you're a bad person, but deleting my comment doesn't make the headband and feathers less racist. Did you at least read the post on the other blog? It's quite humorous.
genius. i love the royal wedding hat. perfecto.
We had great fun with these photobooth props at my wedding this past weekend! Here’s a sneak peek http://dropandanchor.blogspot.com/2011/06/we-did-it.html
I plan on doing a more detailed post in the near future on how we built the photobooth and designed the software (and of course where we got the props) so I will let you know when that goes up!
Thank you so much!
