We wanted to create a giant polaroid as a version of a photo booth for my sister Laura's wedding.
For this Project you'll need:
2 pieces of foam core board
(actually 1 is sufficient, but I wanted a bit more space, for bigger groups)
measuring tool
pen
exacto knife
tape (if using two boards)
printed text/shapes
mod podge
foam brush
I just decided what dimensions looked right to me, but I ended up with the 3 sides at 4 1/4 inches and the bottom border at 9 1/2 inches.
I cut one board in half and used the unused half as a straightedge. I measured and drew the line I wanted to cut.
Then I used an exacto knife and tried my best to cut straight. It takes a lot of hand strength.
Then I taped the pieces together using packing tape.
I then cut out the words and heart I had printed and positioned them.
Then I used mod podge on the front and back of the paper to glue it down.
We didn't know if there was a way to hang it in the (gym) reception hall, so we brainstormed and came up with the idea of handles on the back. I cut wide ribbon and hot glued it on.
It was a great success! Here are some of the guests participating in the fun!
I love, LOVE that people got into it - it was so much fun! If you were at the wedding and took your own photos - post them in the comment section below!!
