Fiona: SO SMILE.
OKAY.
SILLY ONE, SILLY ONE!
[ LAUGHTER ]
Fiona: LOOK HOW EASY THAT
WAS.
THIS IS OUR OWN PHOTO BOOTH AND
AMANDA HERE IS FROM ALAMO CITY
MOM'S BLOG.
THIS IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO AT
YOUR OWN HOME TO DRESS UP ANY
PARTY.
ANY PARTY AT ALL.
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU A COUPLE
OF DIY BACKDROPS FOR ANY PARTY,
ANY EVENT.
THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE.
I HAVE HAD IT FOR THREE YEARS.
IT IS A PAINTER'S DROP CLOTH
WITH CHALK BOARD PAINT OVER IT.
SO WE CAN CHALK ON IT AND YOU
CAN WRITE HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MERRY
CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR.
AND WE JUST ADD A LITTLE
SOMETHING IN FRONT SO WE HAVE A
LITTLE DETAIL AND 3-D.
BUT THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS YOU
CAN USE AT HOME THAT ARE SUPER
EASY.
Fiona: AND WE HAVE SOME
MORE IDEAS OVER HERE TO CREATE
YOUR OWN PHOTO BOOTH.
OKAY?
WHAT DO WE HAVE?
ONE OF THE EASIEST IS CUTE
WRAPPING PAPER.
JUST HANG IT UP ON YOUR WALL,
MAKE SURE IT'S NICE AND STRAIGHT
AND YOU POSE RIGHT IN FRONT OF
IT AND IT'S GOOD TO GO.
THESE ARE MY TWO FAVORITE FROM
THIS YEAR.
ONE IS SEQUIN FABRIC.
IF YOU DO BUY A FABRIC BUY ONE
THAT'S NOT GOING TO WRINKLE
BECAUSE WHO WANTS TO IRON?
Fiona: YOU DON'T WANT TO DO
THAT.
THROW IT OVER SOMETHING AND
THERE YOU GO.
AND THIS ONE IS SCRAPBOOK
PAPER.
IT'S A KIT YOU CAN BUY ONLINE
AND IT MAKES A BUFFALO CHECK
BACKDROP AND THAT IS SO HOT THIS
YEAR.
AND YOU USE PAINTER'S TAPE TO
PUT IT ON THE WALL.
THAT'S MY DAUGHTER.
IT TAKES ALL THE GUESSWORK
OUT OF IT.
AND WE NEED PROPS.
IT'S NOT FUN WITHOUT PROPS.
AND I LIKE TO KEEP THIS AS EASY
AS POSSIBLE.
I DID A LITTLE SEARCH AND WE'RE
ACTUALLY GOING TO LINK ALL OF
THESE FOR YOU ON ALAMO CITY MOMS
TODAY.
I DID A SEARCH FOR BACKDROPS AND
ALL WE DID WAS PRINT THOSE AND
USE TAPE ON THE BACK.
ONE THING I LIKE TO DO IS SWITCH
THE SIDES OF WHAT'S WHAT.
SO IF I'M HOLDING MY CROWN WITH
MY LEFT HAND, MY BOW IS ON THE
RIGHT.
SO SWITCH SIDES.
Fiona: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE
DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
THESE ARE EMPTY.
IF YOU HAVE KIDS WHO WANT TO GET
IN ON THE ACTION, COLOR THEM AND
YOU CAN CUT THEM OUT OR LEAVE
THEM BLANK AND IT LOOKS LIKE
KIND OF LIKE --
Fiona: OH, YEAH.
LET ME SHOW YOU ONE MORE
OPTION THAT WE HAVE.
AND THIS I WAS TAKING A PIECE OF
FOAM BOARD AND TISSUE PAPER.
THIS IS NICE IF YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO PROP IT AGAINST
SOMETHING, YOU DON'T HAVE A WALL
OR A WINDOW TO HANG IT AGAINST.
LAY THIS DOWN.
ALL I HAVE DONE IS TAKEN TISSUE
PAPER, FOLDED IT UP, CUT IT AT A
TRIANGLE AND USE MY SCISSORS TO
MAKE SURE IT HAS TEXTURE.
AND THEN I USE A LITTLE ADHESIVE
ROLLER AND WE ARE JUST GOING TO
LAYER THIS UNDERNEATH EACH
OTHER.
Fiona: OKAY.
THERE WE GO, LIKE THAT.
LIFT IT UP.
AND A LITTLE BIT --
Fiona: JUST STAGGER IT.
OH MY GOSH, LOOK AT THAT
ADHESIVE TAPE!
LIFT IT UP.
Fiona: STICK IT ON THE
TAPE.
AND WE JUST KEEP GOING UNTIL
IT'S DONE.
Fiona: AND LOOK AT THAT.
MY HUSBAND SAID THIS LOOKS
LIKE GRASS AND I WAS GOING FOR
CHRISTMAS BECAUSE WE COULD DRAPE
SOME OVER IT.
Fiona: JUST SOME GARLAND.
HOW CUTE WOULD THIS BE IN
GOLD FOIL OR IN A STRIPE WITH
SOME RED AND GREEN ORNAMENTS.
Fiona: AND THE GOLD CAN
DOUBLE FOR NEW YEAR'S.
OKAY.
I THINK JEFF HAS SOMETHING.
Jeff: I'M GOING TO TOP IN
AND USE THE THING Y'ALL MADE.
Fiona: STAND IN FRONT OF
THE KSAT THING.
THIS IS OUR PHOTO.
EVERYBODY SMILE!
NOW A SILLY ONE.
ONE, TWO, THREE.
HI!
