The holidays are here and what better way to document the festivities than by taking pictures with family, friends or your SO? After all, you've got to keep up your Instafamous cred. There are lots of variations of DIY photo backdrops, but we've put together a traditionally cute one below to provide some inspiration.
What you'll need:
- String
- Ornaments
- Popcorn and cranberry strings
- Rod or ladder
- Chair and/or stools
- Gift boxes, ribbon, bows or other holiday accessories
Step 1:
Tie ornaments with string and secure them to the rod or ladder so they hang down. You can also hang ribbon, tinsel or a burlap wreath to jazz things up a bit.
Step 2:
Support the ladder, freshly adorned with those dazzling decorations, by positioning it horizonatally across two support systems. We used a few step ladders, which can easily be cropped out of your photos.
Step 3:
If your fellow posers would rather sit during the shoot, add complementary chairs or stools to the space.
Step 4:
Play around with holiday decorations to add personality to your photo shoot. Gift boxes, popcorn and cranberry strings, ribbons or bows work well to spruce up the area.
People are guaranteed to remember this holiday photo shoot backdrop, and you and your guests will have a fabulous time posing the night away.
