How to make a photozone with your own hands: creation of a frame, proper attaching and photo examples of decoration
No holiday, whether it's a birthday, anniversary, wedding or New Year, is ever without memorable photos, which for many years to come remind you of these beautiful days.
To make the photos visually beautiful, unique and creative, you should think about the creation of decorations and the acquisition of paraphernalia suitable for the theme of the holiday.
A photo area is the most suitable object for creative photos. You can order a photo area in a special studio, but it is much more interesting to make it with your own hands and realize your most vivid fantasies.
The frame and bindings for a photozone
A correctly assembled frame is the base of a durable photozone that will last a long time and be stably located on the place intended for it.
As a rule, the basis of a solid photozone is a system of fasteners and pipes. In this case, the components of the structure are easily replaceable and adaptable to the editing of proportions and size.
There is only one difficulty: the way of fastening. Therefore it is important to choose the right material for fastening the components of the photozone.
The simplest version of the photozone frame is a rectangular frame made of a wooden bar.
When assembling it is not the most comfortable compared to other variations, but this method is the most budget-friendly and involves easy attachment to the frame of decorative materials: fabrics, cardboard and other matter.
A more complex, but the most durable and stable option is a plywood panel made of wood. It can be shaped in any way you want, using a jigsaw.
Its exterior is easy to decorate. All the more so when processing and applying decorations, it is convenient to use a homemade support.
An easy and not expensive frame for a photozone is plywood made of foam board. But it is applicable for short-term use and can not hold a large number of weighty decorations on its surface.
Prefabricated frame is made of plastic material. Such a frame is called a joker frame.
Its outstanding feature is mobility, because the structure can be easily disassembled and assembled back, and the small parts and method of attachment can be changed. In addition, it is a budget and durable option.
Themed photo zones with your own hands
When making a themed photozone, it is important to provide for its convenience for the guests. Therefore, the frame and shape should fully correspond to the size and height of the guests. But the frame is only a small part of the work.
The main and visible part is the decoration. Decorations or blanks for their creation can be purchased in specialized stores for creativity.
If finances allow, you can even order unique and suitable decor elements from artisans or craftsmen.
It is important that the color combinations and solutions fit in with the main color decoration, so that the photos from the photo area as well as photos from other locations in the hall would turn out in the same style.
For a birthday party
A photo area for a birthday party should represent some kind of belonging to the birthday boy and it should emphasize the age that the birthday boy has reached by this time.
A classic version is golden or silver balloon letters forming a single inscription "Happy birthday" and a number of reached age made of plywood or sturdy cardboard.
The attributes of any birthday party are balloons, so their abundance and variety on the photo zone will be more relevant than ever. The main thing is to combine their colors correctly.
To maintain the theme of the birthday and festive atmosphere, you need to add shiny elements such as rain and colored glitter garlands. You can also provide additions in the form of glasses, festive hats and outfits.
For a wedding
Creating a photozone for a wedding is a more sophisticated option, which requires high-quality material, impeccable taste and the ability to properly attach the components.
The decoration of the wedding photo area should match the decoration of the wedding hall.
Live or artificial flowers often adorn wedding photo zones in combination with light flowing fabrics and cardboard capitals denoting the first letters in the name of the newlyweds.
Candles, candle holders, flower vases and satin ribbons will also fit into a photo area for such a celebration.
Girl's Day
At girls' birthdays or bachelorette parties, you can use flowers from corrugated paper, colored napkins or colored paper. Such flowers can easily be attached to the fabric of the photo area.
Also the photo area can be designed depending on the interests of the participants of the event: music, sophisticated style classicism, natural themes.
Younger girls will love the Disney princess-themed photo area, complete with themed costumes.
Boy's
At bachelor parties and birthday parties with a boy in the decoration of the photo area is also important to consider the interests of participants in the celebration.
For example, lovers of outdoor activities will want to get a joint photo in a boat, standing on the background of an improvised lake or an improvised campfire.
Little boys will love to be photographed next to a photo area themed after their favorite cartoons, such as "Race" or in the theme of their favorite games, such as "Brawlstars" or "Meinkraft."
Photozone Ideas.
If your imagination is limitless, you can depart from the usual understanding of the photozone and create it in other variations. A very interesting variant is the hanging photozone, the components of which are only decorative elements hanging from the ceiling.
As dangling objects, you can make bells out of satin ribbon, which are fastened with thread in a cone and fastened to a rope in several layers. Also suitable are threads with numerous beads and various plants.
From balloons
Balloons are most appropriate for anniversaries and birthday parties. There are many possibilities to order balloons with any inscriptions, in any design and with any shade.
An interesting option for a frameless photozone is its complete creation from inflatable balloons that are stapled together into a single material. But the disadvantage of such a photozone is its fragility, because from the carelessness of the balloon can easily burst.
Decorations made of paper
Paper decorations are easy to make. You will need colored paper or cardboard, as well as knowledge of the art of origami. Paper products are suitable for any photo area. They are applicable to any theme of the celebration.
Bright fabrics
Yellow, green, red, orange, yellow, and other brightly colored fabrics are good for friendly hangouts and children's birthday parties. Again, it's important to match the colors together so you don't end up with a bland look.
Fabrics
Fabrics for the photo area in color and quality are chosen depending on the event. For example, for a wedding reception it is better to choose light, but high-quality flowing fabrics of soft colors.
Fabrics for the photo area for the graduation can already be heavier and more massive with dark, but spectacular colors, such as burgundy or blue combined with gold and other shiny elements.
Ribbons
Ribbons can be used to construct different shapes and even characters on a photo area. Satin fabrics fit into floral bouquets and can be part of decorations hanging from the ceiling. Ribbons are also used to create flowers and imitations of other plants.
Garlands
Garlands can be made in different variations depending on the theme of the event.
Beach or summer party - garland of artificial tropical flowers, cozy get-togethers with friends - colored plastic cups put on lanterns of luminous garland.
New Year's party - garlands of rain and shimmering tinsel, weddings - glowing lanterns decorated with floral prints.
Themed banner
Banner reflects the main message of the event and the reason for which the guests gathered. Banner on a particular topic can be completely drawn using colored paints by hand or as a whole picture is composed of many printed images.
Live flowers
Live flowers are often used in wedding photo zones. But this is not a very cheap pleasure, because beautiful flowers cost quite a lot of money, including the system of keeping them in a presentable form for a long time.
To ensure that the flowers for a long time were fresh and did not wilt after a few hours, it is recommended to use at the base of their installation, special sponges that hold moisture for a long time and nourish the plants with it.
Letters
Letters are necessary on photo zones on the theme of birthdays and weddings, as these celebrations have "guilty parties" and guests gather to congratulate the birthday boy or the newlyweds. Letters can be made from lightweight cardboard materials as well as wood.
Using the above tips and ideas, you will be able to make your own photo zone, on the background of which every participant of the event will want to be photographed.
