easy christmas photo backdrop

If you follow me on instagram then you already know that project Christmas photo back drop was a success!  Fueled with inspiration, I put together a simple backdrop while the kids were at school on Friday.  I basically shopped the house and rummaged through my north pole closet to come up with a fun backdrop that didn’t cost a thing and didn’t take long to put together.

Since this was purely for the sake of a fun Christmas card photo I didn’t want to spend any money at all, so I shopped the house.  I used a striped throw for the backdrop – just taped it to the wall with packing tape.  Then I layered in a few decor items – all things I already had – and called it done!  I’m all about the easy, not too involved kind of projects.  
When the kids got home from school on Friday I snapped a bunch of photos.

This really was so fun,  and if we ever have a Christmas party I am totally going to set up a photo booth!  I always thought it would be a super-time-consuming task, but really it didn’t take long at all.  I just moved a table out of the way and taped some stuff up on the wall.  That’s my kind of diy!

Have you ever set up a photo booth/backdrop?  Are you already planning out your Christmas cards too?
