It's TBT! I thought this was an appropriate post since fall is right around the corner. This is for all the Halloween lovers. I created this photo booth backdrop for Prom 2017. The theme was Masquerade. I think this would be an awesome idea for a Halloween Party. Can you see it?! Selfies galore! The black background would highlight everyone's costumes. This was the biggest thing I ever hand-lettered. It wasn't hard painting it, it was hard to find the space to do it. I thought I was going to use plywood for the backdrop, but it was too heavy and expensive. I searched on the internet for some alternate ideas. I found that professional photographers use foam insulation boards sold in hardware stores. They come in 4' x 8' panels. I bought two from Lowe's. I used chalk board paint I also bought at Lowe's. I used a roller to get the smoothest finish. Once it dried, I sketched out my design and painted it with chalk paint I purchased at AC Moore.
I used a coupon...of course. It took me a couple of days to finish the painting. I delivered it and ducked taped the panels together when I got there. I used command strips to hang it on the wall. Although it was 8' x 8', it was light so it worked like a charm.
So, here is an idea for your upcoming halloween shindig! Grab some foam boards and paint and you'll have a unique backdrop for your guests.
