Say Cheese!!!!
It’s photo booth prop time
For my baby’s 1 year birthday party we decided to have a photo booth for people to have fun taking silly pictures. Today I am going to show you how I made my photo booth props. Here is what you will need.
SUPPLIES:
-Craft Paper
-Silhouette Cameo shapes/or other props (you could even find free shapes online and cut them out by hand if you don’t have a Silhouette)
I found these wooden dowels at my local craft store. They are 3/16″ in diameter which ended up being the perfect size. They weren’t too big and I also felt like they were strong enough so that the kids wouldn’t break them.
As usual I turned to my Silhouette Cameo for shapes to use as props. These are the shapes that I chose but they have so many different ones on their site to choose from:
After I cut out all of the shapes on the silhouette I used some Mod Podge to glue them onto the dowels. I let them dry for about 15 minutes and they were ready for action.
I used a chalk board plaque to direct people over to the area of the photo booth.
To make the chalk board, I picked up a wooden plaque from my local craft store and painted it with this black chalkboard paint. I originally tried to write on it with sidewalk chalk but the result was not to my liking. I instead ordered these chalk markers and they work amazing. They write so crisp and I just use a wet paper towel after the event is over to wipe off the chalk, super easy cleanup.
I use this chalk board plaque for almost every get together that I have, I love it.

It was a really fun evening of food, fun and a spoiled rotten little girl. Cannot believe is she 1!!

Have you ever made a photo booth/ photo props?
We would love to have you follow along with us!
Hawthorne & Main is all about finding your style for your space! It should be a reflection of you! 
I didn't know you had a silhouette! I have one too so now we'll have to chat about projects 🙂 I love the photo booth idea I may just have to steal that idea 🙂 PS She is beautiful and I can't believe she is one already either! Love you and your cute family!

That is so cool that you have a silhouette. You can totally use the photo booth idea, it was a lot of fun. She is growing up so fast.
So fun! I am so sad we missed the party! I am working on something for the babe, I hope I can get it finished soon 🙂 It was supposed to be for her birthday…ahem…
no worries. You have a lot on you plate right now. We need to plan a meet up at moms.
These photo props are pretty much cool. I can imagine how enthusiastic you all must be during the photo shoot. Me and my friends also hired a photo booth along with the props from Photosnap and enjoyed the moment. Would like to see some more photos if you have. Thanks !
How long are the dowel rods you used??
