Newborn "Nest" photography prop DIY by Hampton Photography

Super simple! I bought 4 different sized grape leave wreaths from Walmart or Michaels. I stacked them according to size. I tied them in a few different areas with hemp twine also from walmart. You could also wire this together with floral wire. I chose to use twine for safety reasons. We don't want any babies getting stuck with a stray wire. Then just layer it with comfy layers. I used a layer of burlap in between two other more comfy fabrics.

No-Sew Super Full Tulle Skirt Tutu {DiY}

You will need at least 20 yards of tulle fabric. Wide verity of colors available. I used Ivory. You will need a piece of elastic to fit around your models waist. I bought everything I needed at Walmart. Fabric was 98cents a yard!!! Measure the length of fabric by holding it against your model. Find your length and cut KEEPING THE FABRIC DOUBLED just like how it comes off the bolt. NOW! Just measure off other pieces from your first cut and loop through (like shown in photo). DON'T pull too tight because you may have to adjust once its on your model. I matched my tutu up with a cute ivory bustier I had...PERFECT FOR MY PHOTO SHOOT! *LIKE* us on facebook to see this TUTU used on many different models and MANY other DIY photography props.

DIY Newborn photo photography props Crowns trim fabric from www.hamptonphotographyny.com

Here is another simple DIY photography prop from Hampton Photography. SIMPLE! All you need is a roll of trim fabric. I bought mine from Wal-mart BUT you can buy this in any fabric store. Make sure it's flat on one side and sort of has a crown shape to it. For newborn photos I cut a 10.5 inch length, then spray it with either GOLD or SILVER spray paint (you can buy this at any hardware store)let it dry, then spray with FABRIC STIFFENER (also from Wal-mart) The brand I used was Aleene's Stiffen Quick also sold at Michaels craft store. Spray with stiffener let dry and repeat to you get your perfect stiffness (is that even a word). Last! you just hot glue it with your GLUE GUN (sold everywhere). I use a large plastic cup and let it dry around it to take circular shape. THAT'S IT!!! LIKE us on facebook to see this crown used on many different models and MANY other DIY photography props. AND PLEASE SHARE YOUR PHOTO WITH US ON FACEBOOK IF YOU'VE MADE AND USED A CROWN FOR YOUR PHOTOS!! --------------------->>>>>
