Handmade Photography Props With Barn Wood


Well, this was fun! I was asked by Kathy at KK Photography to make some vintage inspired props for her upcoming Christmas photo shoots.  I am really into these chicken wire frames lately. They work so well for just about anything you want to display.

Here I used Cricut Art Philosophy to make the pennant shape and the letters. A little hint- for my paper I grabbed a sheet from a Mistletoe Level 1.  Since it is preprinted it adds a lot to a project!  I can’t wait to see how this looks in Kathy’s photos. She is so talented!

I started out with an old wooden door. We scored this in our pick a few weeks ago.  I used a white wash technique and she is using it as a wooden floor now.

Another barn wood piece. Here I chose a dry brush technique for the wood.  Then created the letters using vinyl. To add some dimension I also used Glitz Glitter Gel. It looks like a glistening snow up close.  I can’t wait to see the little ones holding this sign in photos.  I will be sure to share them with you!

If you are a photographer I would love to make some props for you as well!
