materials needed:
- cardboard scarps (from recycled boxes)- card-stock paper
- printer
- peices of wrapping or scarp-booking paper
- glue (i used feather spray glue and general crafts white glue)
- good scissors
- exacto knife
- wooden sticks
- paper clips
- a marker and a pencil
- glitters (optional)
- tape
Start off by printing my free pdf template to use as a stencils (link to file at the bottom).
1- You can either cut off the shapes and trace them by hand or use your prefered method to tranfer the image onto rigid cardboard (i used cookies and cereal boxes from the recycle bin).
2- Now cut along the lines using scissors or exacto knife.
3- Spray with feather glue and sprinkle glitters if you like or glue on a peice of decorative wrapping paper, scrap-booking or solid color paper / light cardboard.
4- Cut off excess paper carefully following the edges of the cardboard shape.
5- Glue the wooden stick behind your prop with white crafts glue and secure with paper clips until the glue dries. You can also secure with a peice of tape for more solidity.
the final results, many props for much photo fun!
