16 Bangin’ Backdrops for Your NYE Photo Booth
What’s the best way to commemorate your awesome New Year’s Eve bash in all its glory? With as many photos as possible, of course! A snazzy photo booth will call to all your friends, so you’ll be free to mingle while everyone snaps shots for you to review for years to come. The best photo booths come with only two accessories: a camera set up at just the right angle and an awesomely fun backdrop to add a little funk. We’ve got 16 easy DIYs you can make the day of your party — just hang on a blank wall, set up your camera and don’t forget to say cheese!
