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.

Bookmark Cross Stitch Patterns

It seems like there’s no end to the available options when it comes to cross stitch bookmarks, which is a good thing because they’re perennially popular to stitch as well. This time I thought I’d share some colorful cross stitch bookmarks to get you ready for the new school year or to make meeting your reading goals a little more fun. 

I love these retro floral designs from The Stitch Patterns. This set of four patterns is rated as very easy, and each bookmark measures 2.5 by 6 inches (or 6.35 by 15.25 cm) on 14 count fabric. 

These cute ones that look like mosaic tile would also be fun to stitch. This set includes five designs from EmbroSTyle Designs, and they call them folk art but they mostly look like old mosaics to me. Either way, the bookmarks are 25 by 101 stitches, and to stitch the full set uses 12 colors. 

If you’re looking for more of a challenge, you can stitch up a work of art with this set of 16 bookmarks designed to look like famous paintings. Stitch some sunflowers or a great wave or a starry night. Most of these are between 14 and 20 colors (the great wave is only 8) and the bookmarks are totally covered with stitching at a count of 35 by 100 stitches. Grab this set from Sunset and Sea Design.

Or how about some bookmarks inspired by books (or by movies inspired by books)? This set of Lord of the Rings bookmarks includes four landmarks from the books/movies. Each one is 35 by 115 stitches and uses between 8 and 17 colors. You can find them at byCountryMagicStitch.

These don’t quite all fit the description of being colorful bookmarks to cross stitch, but a few of them do, and speaking of book-themed bookmarks I had to share this set from Mama Geek inspired by Heartstopper. There are seven designs in all that should be quite familiar to readers (or viewers of the series).
