Why not kick of the school year with this fun First Day of School Tradition. Photo booths are all the rage at parties and weddings at the moment, why not make your own photo booth prop that you can use to record your little ones first day of school and then you can easily reuse every year after and all you have to do is change the class name to the next one up. This is a fantastic way to create long lasting memories and it costs next to nothing!
What you need:
1 x old picture frame (big enough to frame a child’s face)
Spray paint or paint colour of your choice
Printed Letter Stencils
Coloured Card
Paint Crush
Glue
Scissors
1) Choose an old frame
and spray paint in the colour of your choice. I chose gold as I thought it
would go really well with the coloured card I have but you can use any colour
spray paint or paint. Make sure you spray paint outdoors or in a well
ventilated area.
2) Leave your frame to
dry for about half an hour. Once dry give it a second coat of spray paint and
leave it to dry.
3) Decide what words
you would like to stick to your frame keeping in mind what you will be able to
fit. You can print off alphabet letters from the internet and use these as a
stencil to make your letters for your frame.
4) I used tracing
paper and traced the letters I chose and then cut the letters out directly onto
the coloured card. I also cut out a star shape but you can choose any words or
shapes on your frame. Position your letters on your frame.
5) Glue each
letter/word to the frame and leave to dry.
