I'm crazy about party props, specially those sexy moustaches that seem to be oh so popular in the US + Europe. They're everywhere now, maybe even a bit too much? Luckily in Panama the trend hasn't yet caught up so virally, so I'm still able to get away with wearing my crazy party props every so often without seeming cliche.
And why keep it all to myself? So today I'm putting together a little DIY Party Prop tutorial for your goofy pleasures.
materials
For this project you'll need:
- party prop template (download here)
- felt
- scissors
- long wood skewer
- silicon glue
- medium clothes pins
step by step
After gathering your materials...
Step 1: Download template + cut out your fave shape.
Step 2: To adhere skewer, cut a little piece of felt + use silicon glue to secure it unto the prop.
Step 3: Hold firmly for a few second.
Step 4: To make sure your prop is party ready, use clothespins to guarantee the adhesion process.
Step 5: Wait 5-10 minutes for the clothespins to do their work. Then, delicately glue the surface of your prop.
Step 6: Place piece of felt on top of your prop to secure adhesion.
Step 7: Cut off the excess so party prop is finally ready to rock.
