DIY Photobooth Props

You can buy 12 DIY photobooth props online at places like Etsy for around $8 + S/H.....
OR you can make your own!!!!
It's pretty simple! You can find everything you need at Michael's.
Materials:
-Sturdy Felt Paper or Cardstock paper (there is 2 kinds of felt, make sure you get the sturdier one) Price: cents for the felt paper and cardstock
-Wooden sticks or skewers (you can find the wooden sticks on the aisle where they have the materials for masquerade masks)
Price: a couple of dollars
-hot glue sticks and a glue gun (or super glue)
Price: around $5 for both, but this is something I hope you already have :)
 -If you just think you can't draw AT ALL, you can use a pencil to trace the shapes on the felt before you cut, then erase it (I even used the eraser itself to draw with, it was easier to just brush it away after I cut the shape)
-The best way to make sure both sides of the mustaches, lips, glasses, etc will be equal in size is to only draw 1/2 of the shape, then fold the paper, then cut!
- Carefully position the figures onto the sticks the way you want them to be held. Glue your cut figures to the wooden sticks and you are done!!!
Everybody LOVES props!!! There are endless shapes you can make and even more ways you can decorate your wooden stick (fabric, paint, etc!) Enjoy!
