Potter DIY: Photo Booth Props

by Amy Hogan, Marissa Miksad · October 9, 2017

Are you hosting a Harry Potter party or just looking for some extra flare for your Halloween bash? We’ve got you covered with some cute and easy Potter props for your DIY photo booth.

 

 

What You’ll Need:

  • Pictures of ties, owls, etc. (We found ours on Google Images.)
  • Glue
  • Chopsticks
  • Cardboard
  • Scissors or X-Acto knife

 

Directions:

Step 1: Cut out your printed images, making sure you have nice, clean edges.

Step 2: Use glue to paste the cut-out image onto a piece of cardboard.

Step 3: Cut out the image from the cardboard. Using thin cardboard makes it easier to cut.

Step 4: Once the prop is cut out, tape or glue a chopstick to the back.

Step 5: Pose for your portrait!

 

Are you planning on making some photo booth props of your own? Share tips and ideas in the comments. You can check out more fun DIY ideas on our main Potter DIY page!
