10-Minute DIY Photo Backdrop

Bridal & Party· Party Decorations

I absolutely love taking photos of my children regularly. We love taking them inside and outside, casual and more formal, but sometimes I want a really fun back drop.  Like for a birthday party, a special spring or summer photo shoot or just for fun!  So today I am going to show you how simple it is to create your own DIY photo backdrop with only 2 supplies and about 10 minutes.  Seriously!  Come check this out…

Simple-DIY-Photo-Backdrop-Crafts-Unleashed-1Isn’t this DIY photo backdrop just adorable!?  Since I wanted to do a fun summer/spring photo shoot of my kiddos, I decided to create a beautiful watermelon inspired backdrop.  The colors are beautiful and vibrant and they are a really fun background for kid’s photos!

Supplies needed to make your own easy DIY photo backdrop:supply-list

  • Rectangular Plastic Tablecloths (I used Spring Green, Magenta and Pink).
  • Masking Tape.

That’s all!

Simple-DIY-Photo-Backdrop-Crafts-Unleashed-4I grabbed my ladder and used masking tape to tape my tablecloths up as high as I could on some bookcases.

You can tape these to a wall, onto cabinets, bookshelves or even just drape them over an existing curtain rod!  There are so many possibilities!

Simple-DIY-Photo-Backdrop-Crafts-Unleashed-5The important thing is to just hang them in a location where you get lots of good natural light if possible!

By using masking or artist’s tape, you will easily be able to remove this DIY photo backdrop without any damage to your surface.

I loosely gathered each tablecloth and taped it up.  You can spread these as far apart or as close together as you like.

Simple-DIY-Photo-Backdrop-Crafts-Unleashed-6After the tablecloths were hung up, I gently tucked the bottoms of the tablecloths under themselves to hide the ends and create a beautiful area by my floors.

Simple-DIY-Photo-Backdrop-Crafts-Unleashed-7And then we went to town taking some of the cutest photos ever!  I loved using this pretty rosette flowers paper bouquet as a cute springtime prop.

Simple-DIY-Photo-Backdrop-Crafts-Unleashed-2This would also be a beautiful birthday party backdrop where the birthday girl or boy held a gift box or two!

Simple-DIY-Photo-Backdrop-Crafts-Unleashed-3Oh man the possibility of cute summer photos sessions are endless!  This DIY photo backdrop is so versatile and simple to make, it’s perfect for nearly any occasion!

Do you love taking photos of your family?
