I have an exciting announcement: I recently joined Whimseybox as a DIY contributor. Whimseybox is a craft subscription service that delivers curated supplies to your door, and I’m thrilled to be part of their creative team. My first project for them is live now and it’s perfect for the season — a holiday-themed DIY photo booth backdrop inspired by wrapped presents.
This backdrop works beautifully for party photos, as a bold statement behind a dessert table, or even as a fun option for holiday cards. My partner and I used it for our own holiday photos, and it made a festive setting that anyone can recreate with a few simple supplies. The full tutorial walks you through each step so you can build one for your next gathering.
