Make your own Photobooth props

Everyone loves novelty photos and weddings are a perfect place to get a good selection of pictures. Props allow for a bit of humour and freedom, a fake moustache makes it much easier to pose and pout for the camera. Making your own props gives you a lot of scope, the possibilities are only as endless as your imagination.
We started with a few sheets of mounting board, thicker and stronger than cardboard with a nice even finish, (of course if you have a jigsaw and some wood they would be even stronger and last for much longer.) Google helped us find pictures of Dame Edna's glasses and nice trim moustaches for reference. To get the symmetry right we made our patterns on newspaper first, drawing half and cutting it out on a fold for accuracy. This we traced onto the mounting board and began the slow process of cutting.
Scissors are not ideal for this project, some places they are useful to take away the excess but we relied very heavily on our scalpel and the x-acto knife, (before we broke it.)

Once we had a good selection of hats, glasses, beards and other accessories we gave them all a lick of paint. Then it was time to add some sticks and a touch of bling.

We wanted to make our props stand out a bit so we selected a few embellishments, the plain black is very popular and work brilliantly but we like to do things a bit differently. We used the glue gun to affix them and then positioned the sticks (we used bamboo skewers) and there you have it. Your very own selection of personalized props, we started with a simple batch of regular shapes and patterns, but soon we will be creating knights helmets and other fantasy inspired props, perhaps some animal ears and definitely more moustaches.

What will you create?
