How To Make a #DisneySide Photo Booth (with FREE Printables)

March 2, 2014 by Lisa 4 Comments

I think photo booths at parties or gatherings are always a hit. It lets your guests be silly and have fun while taking a photo. I live in a small apartment with not a lot of wall space. But I knew I wanted to have a photo booth for my #DisneySide Home Celebration. So I cleared out the corner in my entrance way and got to work.

DIY Photo Booth

It was way easier than I thought. You don’t have to go over the top and spend tons of money, have a huge space or a fancy camera (I used my iPhone). I created something simple and all of my guests loved it! It was nice to see them transform in front of the camera once given a prop.

For Photo Booth You’ll Need: 

  • 2 – 3 plastic tablecloths* {I used 2 in a solid color}
  • tape
  • a few decorative items {streamers, balloons, beads}
  • fun props or signs or both {I used signs – see below}
  • a bucket to store props/signs
  • a bench

*See how wrinkled my table cloth is (of course you can.) Learn from my mistake. I did some research (afterward obviously). You can use a hair dryer on low and smooth out the wrinkles with your hand. Be sure not to put the hair dryer too close to the plastic table cloth.

What I lacked in my wrinkled plastic table cloths, I made up with my signs. I don’t get crafty often but when I do, I impress myself. Take a look at some of my signs:

A photo booth is such a fun way to get in touch with your #DisneySide

To create the signs you’ll need:

  • paper or card stock {I printed on regular paper and recycled old manila folders to cut and glue on back}
  • glue or tape {I used both}
  • popsicle sticks
  • scissors

Print out the signs.
If you print on card stock just take a popsicle stick and glue on to the back.
If you print on regular paper like I did. Glue on to a heavier surface. I used old manila folders. Then I cut.

I used my iPhone to take pictures and made sure I angled it so you could only see the photo booth area.

I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally got to skate in them for real. “Why do my skates feel funny?” I wondered. I assumed it was because I’m not used to roller skates. So I spent the first 15 minutes skating with my skates on the wrong feet 🙄😐🤦🏻‍♀️ but once I fixed them - skating was a little bit easier. 🤣🤣
When the student becomes the teacher… I got to w When the student becomes the teacher… I got to workout with one of my (favorite) former students this morning! From the moment I met her 2 years ago, I knew she was a force to be reckoned with. In the classroom, she is enthusiastic, bright, confident and strong. But at the gym she’s next level! Mel really pushed me today and I know I’ll feel it tomorrow. It wasn’t easy keeping up with this 19 year old. I held my own up until she said 20 minutes on the stair master after our work out. I lasted 5 minutes and then did 15 on the elliptical. 🫠🫠 And obviously we needed a quick locker room photo shoot. 🤣 Also…I don’t know if it’s the angle or the lighting but I can’t believe my arms/back look like that! 😳🥹

Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaq Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaquino on the 6 train. By page 5, I had to close the book and take a minute to absorb the words on the page. Ok ok ok, I also may have begun tearing up a bit. I love when a book makes me feel. There are times when I come across a book, and the words are exactly what I need at that precise moment. This is that book, this is the time. “The only way out for you is through.” 🤍

He sent me a video at 7am - fully dressed in his uniform for his 1pm game - and a text saying he was disappointed. 😕  It’s after 12 and he’s still in his uniform.

After class flex. This month I hit my “goal” w After class flex. This month I hit my “goal” weight and for the first time since before Norrin was born, I’m wearing a size 6 jean. Does it feel good? Yes. It does. But what feels even better is that I feel strong. Stronger than I’ve ever felt in my entire life. Thanks for an amazing class @freelikeoj_allday & @tiabrooks_0106 for always offering to take a picture.

Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summe Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summer clothes. I found 3 dresses that I’ve had forever - probably 15 years. They were probably only worn once. I held on to them, even though I couldn’t fit into them. Because I knew one day, I would fit into them again. Over the last 2 years, I’ve lost some weight but they still didn’t fit last summer. When I tried them on this week, they fit! I haven’t been able to fit into these dresses in more than a decade. And so yesterday I put on the blue dress. I didn’t go anywhere spectacular. I wasn’t on a date. I visited a friend in the neighborhood, went to a meeting and then White Castle (don’t judge me). When I first bought this dress and when it fit, I held on to it - waiting for an occasion. I refuse to do that. I’m not waiting for a man to take me out, or a party or an event. If I want to wear something, I will wear it. I am the special occasion. I am the event. I am worth getting dressed up for. 

Also - I realize that holding on to clothing for 15 years hoping it will fit again is probably not normal. But oh well. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣
