A while back I was asked to create a photo backdrop for the iLoveToCreate booth at the Craft and Hobby Association show (which took place this last weekend). After lots of brainstorming I decided on a fun and simple handmade photo back drop full of layers of garland. Handmade photo booths and backdrops are all the rage, especially for weddings and events but you can use them for all kinds of photo opportunities. Creating a fun backdrop is SUPER easy and a great way to capture whimsical and fun photos!
I used a large piece of pink canvas and started by painting and stamping garland onto the surface. I also used pieces of fabric and and glued them to the surface. Once the surface of the canvas was filled with garland I got to work creating real garland. All of the "real" garland got draped over the top of the painted canvas. The result is layers and layers of festive garland.
I even added a little striped awning to the top!
You can't have a photo booth without some fun props! With a little creativity, some felt and cardboard you can come up with all kinds of props to use in photos!
Then you are ready to take photos!

Good job with the post!
For women, it’s an incontrovertible fact of fashion that womens canvas sneakers just don’t appear great with dresses; even the most chic, colorful pair just begs to be worn with pants as opposed to with a skirt of any sort. By the same token, for guys, even the most upscale trainers will most likely take away from a traditional shirt and pair of slacks. The best way to establish whether it’s the ideal moment to wear trainers when hanging out with close friends is to first figure out the environment or venue for the outing. In most instances, sneakers are completely acceptable for outdoor and sporting events and informal wear, so long as they are clean and in good condition.
Admiro tu creatividad!
This is so freakin' adorable! I might just have to make one for my daughter's 7th b-day party! What 7 yr old girl wouldn't love to ham it up in front of the camera??? Thanks for sharing! :) Becky V.
