For day 21 of my 25 Days of Christmas challenge, I made a holiday photo booth. Photo booths are a fun addition to any party or get together. All you need is a back drop and a box of props. People can use their own cameras or you could include a Polaroid camera so everyone can have a souvenir. The iPhone also has a fun app called PopBooth that actually takes 4 pictures in a strip similar to an old fashioned photo booth. You can order actual prints for 2.99 or you can post them on Facebook and email the pictures for free!
For a backdrop, a streamer curtain works well. It looks festive and it's super easy to make. I took a piece of string and cut strips of streamers and stapled them to the string. I alternated holiday colors of red, white and green. Then loop the ends of the string and hook them onto thumb tacks to hang on the wall.
For the prop box, you can print out hats, glasses and mustaches and glue or tape them to sticks or a better idea is just to buy a few props at the dollar store. You can get Santa hats, elf hats and reindeer antlers as well as big sunglasses and fake mustaches. I glued the mustaches to bamboo chopsticks so that they can be reused multiple times instead of sticking them to one person's face.
