In this article you can learn how to make accessories for a photo shoot with your own hands - mustaches, lips, hats, glasses on a stick. We'll show you how to make them from plastic, paper or fabric.
In most cases, excellent shots are obtained against a pre-prepared background, which can be a photo booth, stretched fabric or a specially created structure -
Create a mustache on a cardboard stick
The easiest and most affordable way to create this accessory for a photo shoot is to make a mustache from thick colored cardboard. To do this, you will need to create a template of the desired shape, print it, cut out a mustache from cardboard according to the template, and glue it to a stick.
Create a mustache on a fabric stick
A fabric mustache can be made using a similar technology. However, in this case, it is advisable to sew the parts on a machine, leaving a hole for the shelf.
We create mustaches and sponges from plastic
Not the easiest way, but perhaps the most interesting. Since the mustache and lips turn out voluminous.
To create a plastic mustache, you will need:
A set of suitable plastic, which can be purchased at scrapbooking stores
Shish kebab sticks
Glue gun or suitable glue
Making a mustache for a photo shoot step by step:
The first step is to roll two balls.
After which they need to be flattened.
Give each ball a “mustache” shape and connect both halves.
After the plastic has hardened, you need to glue a wooden stick on the back side.
The process for making sponges is similar:
The finished sponges and mustache will look like this:
Working with clay or plastic, you can create accessories for a photo shoot of any shape and volume.
A wedding is not only a serious step for newlyweds, it is also a good reason to have fun! And the photographs remain in everyone’s memory and later evoke warm memories of the wedding day.
Recently, photo sessions in the so-called “photo booth” have been very popular, the owners of which provide free fun props for filming. But rarely does anyone order a booth for a wedding (and rightly so, how can they cram so many people in there?), and they are eager to get props. Enterprising wedding hosts and photographers have long had their own sets, which they offer for a fee. Also photo props in the form of mustaches, top hats, lips, funny phrases can be bought in online stores. Their cost starts from 500 rubles for a thematic set.
DIY photo props
Everything is much simpler than you think! And not a single set of photo props costs 500 rubles. Plus, you can create unique templates yourself.
You will need:
- printed templates
- cardboard
- scotch
- wooden skewers (or skewers. In Auchan you can buy 100 pieces for 30 rubles)
Cut out pictures or phrases from the printed templates and glue them onto thick cardboard. Cut out again and glue the skewers on the back side - first with glue, and on top with tape for security.
Advice: If you plan to use photo props for a long time, laminate your templates, and only then glue them to a skewer. You can laminate at home using an iron and lamination film.
On the back side, you can glue another similar form made of cardboard, if you really want it to be absolutely beautiful and not show the skewer.
Beautiful photos are what remain after the holiday and remind you of the joyful event for a long time. Therefore, special attention should be paid to organizing a photo shoot. The best option is to entrust this mission to a professional, but you can easily organize an original photo shoot on your own. What is the most important thing in a photo shoot for children? To make it fun and unusual. To add variety to your holiday photos, let’s try to make accessories for a photo shoot with your own hands. Let's consider those that are made easily and from affordable materials.
These can be either flat or three-dimensional figures. The easiest option is to cut out numbers and letters from cardboard and decorate them in one of the available ways - paint, thread, glitter or flowers from napkins.
The number in the photo will immediately make it clear how old the birthday boy is. Then, looking at the photos a few years later, you won’t have to rack your brain about which birthday this photo is from.
Well, a decorative letter can be the first letter of the baby’s name. Or you can make a whole word out of letters.
Numbers and letters can be ordered ready-made from wood. This decor will be more durable than cardboard. And all you have to do is decorate the finished figure to your liking or according to the theme of the holiday.
Mustaches, crowns, hats
Even a child can handle this type of decor. If the baby already knows how to use scissors, then he can be trusted to make small paraphernalia for photos.
What we need:
- thick colored paper or cardboard;
- wooden sticks or skewers;
- glue.
The manufacturing process is extremely simple - we print out the templates, trace them on cardboard, cut them out and glue them to skewers. The attributes can also be additionally decorated with sparkles, bows, and beads.
Paper garlands
Another type of accessories for a photo shoot that you can easily make with your own hands.
For a paper garland you need:
- colored or white paper;
- threads;
- glue or needle.
The first stage is to cut out many identical figures from paper. These can be circles, hearts, bows, stars, numbers. The second stage is to attach the figures to the thread. This can be done with glue, or you can string them on a thread using a regular sewing needle.
A small nuance: it is more convenient to store and transport a paper garland if it is wound around something. If you just put it in a bag, it can get tangled. For the same reason, you should not take threads that are too thin.
Balls
Inflatable balloons always look elegant and bring a feeling of celebration. Inflating them yourself is not difficult. If there are a lot of balls, use your dad's help or rent a special pump. You can create simple compositions from balloons - hang them in the form of a garland, or assemble them in the form of a flower.
Another option is foil balls. You can also inflate them yourself by renting a helium balloon, or seek help from specialized points. These balls come in different shapes and you can choose a shape that suits the style of the holiday.
Large paper decor
By such decor we mean various pinwheels, fans, large paper flowers.
Let's look at the process of making a round fan with your own hands.
Materials:
- paper;
- scissors;
- glue;
- stapler
We take three squares of paper and fold them like an accordion. Then we fold each accordion in half and fasten it with a stapler or glue. After this, we connect all three accordions to each other. Glue a circle of paper into the middle of the pinwheel.
From such pinwheels you can make entire garlands and streamers. You can glue letters onto the mugs and thus write “Happy Birthday” or the name of the birthday person.
Cool inscriptions
They are made on the same principle as small paraphernalia. We print the templates, cut them out and attach them to skewers using glue. With the help of such inscriptions you can make a whole scene. Funny photos with captions are especially nice to look at later.
Conclusion
We hope you liked our ideas and will make your holiday photo shoot fun and original. Making props for a photo shoot with your own hands is very simple, but what interesting and unusual photographs you will get. They will take their rightful place in the family album and will delight you for a long time, reminding you of a fun holiday.
