3 DIY Newborn Photography Props
Here are some of the easiest and most visually pleasing DIY hacks for newborn photography props.
Coordinating Stretch Wraps and Tiebacks
What can be perfect than easy stretch wraps and tiebacks? The best part about them is that they are unisex, can be utilized for both boys and girls. Another advantage of using them is that the stretchy wraps are wonderful for keeping fussy newborns safe and secure so that they drift off into a deep sleep and ease in the shooting.
The use of stretch wraps also keeps the startle reflex at bay. It is when the baby wakes up while you carefully pose them the shoot becomes difficult. You can get materials at a low price and great quality from Walmart for this project.
Artificial Curly Background Layer
Increase the visual appeal of your images by using faux background layers. Using materials that enhance colors and texture adds an extra edge. Preparing a background layer is a fun and easy task, and you can do it while watching your favorite series; incredible, right!
Things you will need:
- A thick and quick yarn of your choice.
- A felt cut piece of the size you want the layer to be.
- Needle felting tool.
- Needle felting mat.
Step 1 – cut the strips measuring 1 yard.
Step 2 – once done, put your scissors away. Three strings hold the yarn together; now, easily deconstruct the strings by pulling them out.
Step 3 – once the string is loose and wool is deconstructed, pull them apart into 2 equal pieces and fluff them up. You may lessen the pulling effect for a curlier looking effect.
Step 4 – line the stage with this deconstructed wool.
Recycled Newborn Outfit For Photography
The treasures at a thrift store can be upcycled into something exciting and unique. Get a good sweater from the store and make cute outfits from it.
