My son has his first big Halloween Party coming up this week which definitely has me putting my crafty skills to use!  So I thought I'd share some of my creations with all of you.  Stop by throughout this week to see how I've simplified the party-planning process by introducing a few digital products into the mix--that's right it's going to be a Hybrid Halloween!

Making these Halloween Photo Booth Props, was probably one of my favorite creations I made for the party, so as you can imagine I'm excited to share them with you.  My photo booth consisted of a backdrop made of polka dot gift wrap and a bench and the addition of these simple props made for an inexpensive yet fun party activity.

What You'll Need:

• Colored Cardstock
• Straws and /or Craft Sticks
• Monster Masks  Cut File (or similar cut file)
• Halloween Photo Props Cut File (or similar cut file)
• Die Cutting Machine
• Adhesive

1. Set up your cut files in your die cutting machine's software.

2. If you are using layered designs (like the monster masks) set up separate documents for cuts that will be made in a different color.  For instance, for my monster mouth masks I set up all of my teeth on one sheet, all of my outlines on another sheet and all of my mouth pieces on another--this helped to save on time and paper.

3. Assemble pieced cuts with adhesive.

4. Adhere a straw or craft stick to your photo prop as a handle.

5. Now place your subject--with props in hand--in front of a fun backdrop and snap away!

Have a Happy Halloween!
