nacramamoI'll have some photos to share when the projects are done, but our community is having a little outdoor Halloween party and I'm making photo booth frames.
The logistics were challenging because I didn't know where to find enough cardboard. Then I discovered tempura paint (powdered paint in a can) is no longer a thing, LOL.
Some free cardboard showed up via a package, but I ended up going to Michaels and Dollarama to get cardboard trifolds in black and white and cutting them up into four strips.
The one frame I tried to paint orange--well, I wasn't going to wait all day for enough coats of orange to happen :-D Back to Dollarama where I bought some orange poster board and wrapped the sides. I need the frames to be durable enough to last an afternoon of potentially rough handling!
As to decorating them, I bought some giant stickers from Dollarama as well. Now I just have to put it all together today :-D
