Make sure when people see the photos of them in the photo booth, they\u2019ll instantly remember of your party.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Tip: Start drawing from both of the vertical sides and the top horizontal side. You don\u2019t have to cover every inch of the surface. People will stand in front of it, so it\u2019s okay to leave the centre blank. Just make sure the edges are well-decorated.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span id=\"Cupcake-foils-wall\"><b>Cupcake foils wall<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\"><span id=\"Image-creditWedding-Wire\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3177\" src=\"https:\/\/www.photojaanic.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/easy-DIY-photo-booth-ideas-2.jpg\" alt=\"easy DIY photo booth ideas (2)\" width=\"823\" height=\"653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.photojaanic.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/easy-DIY-photo-booth-ideas-2.jpg 823w, https:\/\/www.photojaanic.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/easy-DIY-photo-booth-ideas-2-300x238.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px\" \/>Image credit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingwire.com\/wedding-ideas\/diy-photo-backdrop-scalloped-cupcake-foils\">Wedding Wire<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It turns out you can get a glam look for your photo booth without spending a lot.

But for adults, it can be the hack for a fabulous photo booth with minimal effort. All you need is balloons in your party theme colours, a pump, and threads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the balloons are inflated, tie a few of them together, and scatter the \u2018groups\u2019 horizontally along your photo booth.

Not only they\u2019re cheap, these versatile crepe papers are also easy to find.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To create this, you need crepe paper party streamers with colours that go with your theme, cut into 20-ft strips. If you can\u2019t find party streamers, you can make some manually using a crepe paper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drape the streamers around a dowel and tape them.
