DIY Photo Booth Fabric

I don't know about photo technicalities, but as far the fabric purchasing goes, look for coupons for Jo-Ann Fabric in the Sunday paper. They usually have 40% off coupons and that takes it from $10/yd to $6/yd. Or wait for a 50-60% off sale and get it for less.

Oh good call Jessie Lyn! I will do that. Brian- I think the photo booth will have either my Mac taking pictures, disposable cameras, or people's digital cameras. I don't think there will be that many professional pictures taken in the photo booth.

Oh gotcha. Ok thanks for the two cents.

Most of the muslin I have seen comes in white, natural or black, just regular cotton fabrics come in colors (I used to work at Jo-Anns). Is just regular cotton ok Brian? Or you would stick with the muslin? I'm just curious.

Oh yeah it has to be in color, preferably a print.

So you could back a colored cotton with a muslin and it would help?

Rachael - You will want to stick to the quilters section of Jo-Anns, that's where most of the cottons are. There are some interesting calico prints you can get in multi-colors, but you might no be able to find exactly what you want. Another idea is to stick to a solid and cut some strips of fabric or shapes out of another color, and then use fabric glue to attach them. Easy Peasy.

Eehhh, I probably would stay away from prints, especially small ones. It is going to look really busy in the photos. What about painting a scene onto some fabric in her colors? Or, using a more neutral backdrop and adding props in her colors, like boas,parasols, sunglasses, etc. I think they will come out much better that way. I have seen it done recently at weddings, and the guests had a blast too. The couple used them in their final scrap/ guest book.

I think we will hang it in a corner of the tent. The reception is in a large white tent outside.
