Photobooths have become a must-have at every party, even weddings! Some may choose to hire an external photo booth vendor where they'll provide backdrop, props and even instant print-outs for you and your guests. But with some DIY photo booth backdrop tips, you might just wanna consider saving those money and let those creative cells in you go wild.
OMBRE TISSUE PAPER PHOTOBOOTH
This has got to be my favourite backdrop! It's basically made up of a whole ton of tissue papers. And nope, not the usual tissue papers you'd find at home. This is a special kind of tissue paper meant for arts and crafts purposes! You could visit Artfriend, Spotlight or any party shops to purchase these.
What you'll need
- Tissue Paper in Varying Shades
- Scissors
- Chicken Wire
- Wire Cutters
- Zip Ties
- Photobooth Backdrop Framework
Time Needed
3 Hours
Steps
1) Cut your tissue papers into large squares of at least 9" x 9"
2) Set up your photobooth backdrop, at least 8 feet tall x 7 feet wide
3) Cut your chicken wire to your desired size (Suggested: 7 feet x 5 feet)
4) Using the zip ties, attach the chicken wire to the backdrop frame
5) Decide on a colour arrangement (e.g. lighter shades to darker shades) and start stuffing your tissue papers into each hole of the chicken wire
Tip: Grab the tissue paper in the middle, pinch and twist it in the middle, then stuff it into the chicken wire. Fluff it up a little after that

STREAMERS
This is a really cheap and easy idea for a backdrop! This is for those who're looking for something simpler and less time consuming. The materials are readily available and can be found almost anywhere too.
What you'll need
- Crepe Paper / Ready-Cut Streamers (Colours of your choice!)
- Masking Tape
- Scissors
Time
45 minutes
Steps
1) Start by deciding on the dimension of your photobooth.
2) At the top of your backdrop, stretch a piece of masking tape sticky side out, and tape it to the wall with two smaller pieces at the ends (The long piece of tape needs to have the sticky side facing outward so that you can stick the crepe paper to it)
3) Attach pieces of crepe paper to the masking tape. Up to you to decide whether you want the strips of paper to touch the floor. Varying lengths would be nice!
4) Overlap the pieces slightly so that there won't be any ugly gaps in between. Continue attaching the papers till you've worked your way across the entire backdrop..
5) Roll a few pieces of masking tape so that they’re double-stick.
6) Stick a few across the top of the backdrop.
7) Cover the top edge with a long piece of crepe paper to hide the tapes.
8) Repeat Steps 2 - 7 for the bottom
8) Snip off the excess strips at the bottom
