8 DIY Photo Backdrop Ideas

March 5, 2015 by Larissa Coleman

Before we get into the list that we have compiled for you, here are some generic photo ideas

Natural backdrops: Use natural elements like trees, flowers, or a picturesque landscape as a backdrop for your photos. This can add a sense of depth and beauty to your photos, and can be great for outdoor photography.

Solid colored backdrops: Simple solid colored backgrounds like white, black, or gray can add a clean and modern look to your photos. These backgrounds are also great for highlighting the subject of the photo, and can be used to create high-contrast images.

Textured backdrops: Use textured materials like burlap, wood, or brick to add depth and interest to your photos. These types of backdrops can be great for creating a rustic or vintage look.

Patterned backdrops: Use patterned fabrics or wallpapers as backdrops for your photos. This can add visual interest and can also be used to create a specific theme or mood.

DIY backdrops: Get creative and make your own backdrops using materials you have at home. This can be a fun and budget-friendly way to add a unique touch to your photos.

Studio backdrops: Hire a studio space and use professional backdrops for your photos. This can be a great option for portrait or product photography, and can provide a controlled environment for your photography.

Street backdrops: Use urban landscapes or city streets as backdrops for your photos. This can add a sense of energy and movement to your photos, and can be great for street photography.

Abstract backdrops: Use abstract backgrounds like bokeh, smoke, or water droplets to add a unique and creative touch to your photos. This can be a great way to experiment with different styles and effects.

Overall, there are many different types of backdrops that you can use to add character and interest to your photos. By experimenting with different backdrops, you can find the perfect one to suit your needs, and can create unique and creative photos that stand out.

A Printable Escape Room You Can Play at Home

It’s the time of year when I write this that no one really wants to be outside where I live because it is just too hot. But we still want to make things fun while we’re stuck inside all day. 

Escape rooms at home are a great way to give kids a little fun challenge, and they’re great for small groups of kids to work on together, just for a fun afternoon activity or to build a birthday party or other special event around. 

The best kinds of escape rooms are the ones that are totally done for you, like this zoo themed one from In the Playroom. 

It opens with kids visiting the safari zoo, and somehow they are locked in the zoo and have to figure out how to get out before the zookeepers come back. 

This set of printables has absolutely everything you need to complete the game, including details kids will love like a zoo admission ticket and certificate of completion for when they figure out the code to get out of the zoo. 

In between they’ll solve puzzles with secret codes, go through a maze and match animals to letters to crack another code to finish the puzzle. 

All of the pieces are really cute and I think this will engage kids of a variety of ages. Little kids might need a little help with the puzzles, but it should be fun for grown ups to play along, too. And if you or your kids are having trouble with any of the clues, the PDF also includes the solutions so you can help them crack the case without having to think too much about it. 

This free download is available to subscribers, so head on over to In the Playroom to sign up and download this great zoo escape room to play with your kids today.
