Using scissors or a cutting board and knife cut out the shapes.

We have some photo booth props which we’ve used at parties, and both kids and adults love them. You don’t even need a photo booth, just a camera and a hanging sheet for a background! I haven’t made my own but these are easy and I’m keen to give it a try for our next kid’s party.

My daughter in law is doing her own baby shoot. It costs 100s for a professional one and they’re not that great. She’s taken a couple of excellent ones so far (as much as time and a newborn will allow) and for a fraction of the price

Cute idea! I’ve seen them quite expensive in shops.

Great idea and so quick to do, the kids always like making things and then taking crazy photos of themselves

I bought a couple of packs of these type of props at heavily reduced prices over the holidays. The pack comes with all the bits, and you just need to make them up. They were a huge hit at my son’s recent 15th Birthday Party. We created a ‘Selfie Stop’ for guests at any time during the night to have some fun. We also included wigs and other accessories we had at home. It was very popular and funny.

Hmm, interesting. I know you can hire them, but this is of course the more affordable friendly option.

Using the construction method and some imagination I reckon you could make some suitable for kids to make decorations for a Halloween Party
