Design ideas for funny watch faces. DIY New Year's photo zone

Very soon the most favorite holiday of all children and adults will come - New Year. I really want the magical moments of the New Year holidays to stay with us longer. Anticipation of a miracle and magic New Year's Eve in the circle of the closest people - these are the sensations that we experience again when looking through photographs that capture happy moments.

But amateur photos often turn out ordinary. If you don’t have the opportunity or time to agree with professionals about shooting in a specially equipped photo studio, then you can easily make a New Year’s photo zone with your own hands.

General rules for decorating a photo zone for the New Year with your own hands

In order to successfully design a New Year's photo zone, you should adhere to certain rules:

carefully consider the location for the future photo zone. For convenient photography, it should occupy at least 2 square meters. m;

There must be sufficient space in front of the photographing area to allow the photographer to stand comfortably;

the photo area should not be located next to festive table, and also block passages;

decor colors should fit harmoniously into the overall palette of the room;

You cannot place a photo zone in front of a mirrored wall, otherwise both the photographer and everything that is located next to him will be included in the frame;

the photos will look better if you can illuminate the photo zone with professional lighting devices. If this is not possible, then you should choose the brightest place in the room, and also use an external flash for the camera;

It also wouldn’t hurt to set up a small table nearby, on which all sorts of props will be laid out: wigs, mustaches, masks, hats, funny glasses, balls. Perhaps someone will want to complement their image or just have some fun.

If you follow these simple rules, you will be able to take unique photos at home, without the help of professionals.

Ideas for organizing the space and decor of a New Year's photo zone

In order to implement the plan for creating a photo zone for the New Year, you first need to decide on general style. Perhaps it will be the style of the beginning of the last century, rustic, eco or romantic. According to the chosen style and color scheme you need to select attributes.

For retro style, large cardboard clocks, on the dial of which the hands will show “five minutes to twelve”, as well as porcelain dolls, are appropriate.

Country style is characterized by wooden elements, a stack of firewood and, of course, a fireplace. It’s good if you have a real fireplace at home, but if you don’t, then it won’t be difficult to make one with your own hands.

To make a pseudo-fireplace, you can use thick cardboard, wooden pallets or polystyrene foam. The manufactured frame is decorated with beautiful fabric, corrugated paper or foil. The top shelf will be a suitable place for candlesticks, photo frames and elegant gift boxes.

Gifts can be put into special felt boots, which are also easy to make yourself. A low chair covered with a warm blanket will look good near the fireplace. Decorative pillows casually scattered around add coziness.

If you choose a romantic style, then you can’t do without hearts, and in winter version they can be white or silver. They can decorate the space around the photo zone instead of traditional snowflakes. And the fire inside the fireplace can be successfully replaced by large candles, best of all LED ones: they are fireproof and do not emit odor.

Whatever the chosen style of the New Year's photo zone, it must include a decorated Christmas tree or pine branches. The decoration of the New Year's tree must match the style and be original. You shouldn’t hang all the toys you have; it’s better to choose decorations of one or two shades. There is no way to do without illumination. Garlands can now be bought in both colored and one tone.

The idea of decorating a themed photo zone for the New Year will appeal to your family. Participating in its design will help bring the family together and spend time in pleasant chores. Everyone will be able to add their own flavor so that they can take pictures together with pleasure.

Photo zone for the New Year

When designing a place for photography in apartments and houses, most often they choose the most spacious and bright room in which they usually celebrate the New Year. For decoration, a variety of New Year's accessories and attributes are used: tinsel, LED garlands and ribbons, bright and vintage toys, paper decorations, etc. Main role In a holiday photo shoot, the focus is often on the beautifully decorated hero of the occasion - the New Year tree. It is important that when you independently design such a place in the interior, it looks cute, natural and New Year’s-like.

Make a photo zone for the New Year best background for bright, romantic, funny and unforgettable photos, give joy to others!

Decorators at weddings usually worry about the photo zone, but I decided that for everyone else family holidays beautiful place It won't hurt for photography.

We try so hard to arrange an interesting children's birthday, anniversary or wedding anniversary, but at the same time we stubbornly take pictures against the backdrop of wallpaper, cabinets, curtains and a table with scraps :-). Enough!

Some of what I will offer now can be made using improvised materials; many blanks are available in holiday online stores. There are also elements that can only be made to order. In any case, you will get inspiration and be able to create an unusual photo zone for the celebration.

Immediately in the frame

A well-known technique, which, however, always enjoys success. To take photographs in the room, we simply ask guests to hold the frame in their hands; if the holiday is outdoors, we hang round and rectangular baguettes from tree branches.

This is perhaps the most quick way design of a photo zone in nature. People tend to pose much more interestingly, trying to fit into a composition limited by a frame.

You can buy baguettes at any chain supermarket that sells goods for home and comfort; there are both pompous and simple ones, which are more suitable for the holiday theme.

Fantas and other paper decorations

To be honest, this decorative element is called differently everywhere. This is simply a decorative fan folded from a long strip of paper. With phantoms you can very quickly cover a fairly large surface of the most inconspicuous wooden or plastic shield that you decide to turn into a photo zone.

There are quite a lot of master classes on the Internet that include step by step instructions making such a forfeit, and you can buy ready-made ones in the “Everything for the Holiday” stores. Fant is also called a “decoration fan.”

Themed fence

This photo zone is usually set up on the street. If there is no real fence, a separate fragment is built, which is decorated with artificial flowers, wardrobe items, fake clouds, etc. IN marine theme Let's hang an anchor and fish, for pirates - a black flag with a skull, palm trees and treasure chests.

Summer cafes often provide the very basis for such a photo zone, so all you have to do is place a few thematic elements.

Photo zone with ribbons

In order for such a background to appear, you only need a horizontal bar at a height of 2-2.5 meters. It can be mounted on the door or placed between cabinets of the same length. Once we decorated the wall bars in the children’s room and the horizontal bar in the corridor with ribbons. Why not a photo zone?

Of course, ribbon decor will look good in nature. You will be photographed against the backdrop of a festive tree, and a light breeze will help you :-).

Paper plastic

It just seems that any of us can easily turn white sheets of paper into fantastic flowers. In fact, this work requires quite a lot of skill and patience. Of course, there are companies that specialize in the production of such decor, but simple elements you can do it yourself.

If you also think about original lighting in soft colors, the flowers will come to life and turn every photo into a masterpiece. Great idea for a photo zone for a woman’s anniversary or wedding anniversary. Paper wedding :-).

I photographed such beauty at a recent exhibition.

Garlands on strings

Surprisingly simple and amazingly beautiful at the same time. What’s even nicer is that such a photo zone can certainly be decorated according to the theme of the holiday. Who's stopping you from stringing... or even paper soccer balls? Hearts, flowers, birds, even simple triangular colored patches, and the background for photography looks great.

Instead of garlands, you can use Hawaiian beads, which are simply hung vertically next to each other. Very cool!

Everything ready-made is now sold - Hawaiian beads and paper garlands.

Balls

Helium balloons can fill the space against which your guests will pose. You can make several helium chains one above the other or put fountains of balloons on the floor (these are bundles of balloons on ropes of different lengths with a weight on the floor).

I don’t recommend making balloons that are too bright for the photo zone, as guests in colored clothes will get lost. Delicate colors (shades of green, gold, pink) or even balls of the same color will be very helpful in this case.

Cardboard plates

Killer material for decoration for any holiday theme.

You can attach the plates to the wall with easily removable mounting “chewing gum”, which does not spoil the surface of the wall, unless there is paper wallpaper.

You can lay out some kind of shape from the plates (circle-square-capital letter of the name) or simply hang it in a checkerboard pattern.

Ready photo props on sticks

All these accessories can be placed in vases next to the photo zone. Guests can borrow and pose with the hat mustaches.

By the way, at one holiday the photo zone itself was decorated with these items. These elegant pictures were simply attached with double-sided tape in a chaotic order on a white background. Very cool! The cost is low, the design of such a photo zone is quite cheap, and it looks original.

Ready-made sets can contain from 4 to 30 items; you can find them based on a holiday theme or simply “about a birthday.” The photographs always turn out spectacular, since guests behave more relaxed with their accessories. Apparently, it seems to them that they have somehow covered themselves up)).

Thematic banner (press wall) or tantamaresque

A wonderful thing for a photo zone. For family holidays, such a banner can be ordered and installed in a restaurant or even at home. A great way to take memorable photos of a wedding anniversary or anniversary.

Press wall can also be thematic. You can print anything, even decorations for your celebration.

Photo booth

This, of course, is in case of a large and crowded holiday, but you need to remember the existence of such a booth. You can rent it (there is a stand for taking finished photographs, a background, and the necessary inscriptions on the photographs).

New Year is not only a lot of fun and a noisy feast, but also a sea of photos that, after the holiday, spread across social networks and family albums. Unfortunately, in the frame next to happy faces Often they end up with unsightly furniture, plates with leftover food, or even body parts of random people.

This is easy to fix: just set up a photo zone at home! She will make the shooting process organized, fun and original, and the festive props will help even the most shy guests to relax in front of the camera. Don't know what you need for this? Use the ideas in this article.

Rain

The easiest way to organize a photo zone at home is to cover the wall with New Year's rain. It can be hung on a cornice, making a kind of curtain, or, if the wall covering allows, attached directly to it with tape. If you choose the second option, then make sure that the rain is well secured and will not fall on the guests during the holiday. Multi-colored and shiny, tinsel is very inexpensive, and immediately gives your photos a festive look.

Garland

It’s easy to make a garland for a photo zone with your own hands: you only need paper and thread. Circles, triangles, snowflakes or stars - you can create any shapes that suit the theme of the party. The garland can be hung as a continuous sheet or by placing the fasteners on different levels, create an interesting relief.

Inscriptions

The background is often inscriptions that will not let you forget what holiday is captured in the photo. Words can be printed on fabric, written with chalk on a suitable surface, painted on cardboard, or cut out from colored paper, pasted on a wall or attached to a string. For greater effect, frame the inscription with shiny rain, Christmas tree decorations or themed decorations: stars, snowflakes, etc.

Balloons

The photo zone does not have to be a decoration - objects can also play its role. For example, they will look great in the photo balloons large size or original form. You can also decorate a separate corner with balls by hanging them on the wall or placing a so-called fountain on the floor - a bunch of balls with a load. Please note that against the backdrop of too bright and multi-colored balls, guests in the photo may simply get lost, so give preference to calm colors. And don’t forget to think about a reserve in case some of the balloons burst during the celebration.

Cozy corner

If there is enough space in the apartment, you can turn the whole room or part of it into a photo zone. Decorate the Christmas tree, put gifts under it, throw a cozy blanket with pillows on an armchair or sofa, add beautifully twinkling garlands, candles and other decor - the decoration will turn out no worse than in the studio, and guests will be able to take wonderful atmospheric photographs.

Slate

Any home interior can be incredibly transformed by a brand new wall clock. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to travel all over the city in search of a new masterpiece that will become a wonderful update.

Wall clocks in the interior will look great if you make them yourself! For example, you can decorate an old clock you have. You can also make new ones using various materials, and also easily accessible.

Moreover, they will be in quality great gift, especially to family and friends, who are not punctual.

How to make a wall clock with your own hands

Taking the most ordinary embroidery hoop, you can get quite interesting wall clocks. You will also need decorative buttons for this. The base can be chosen from a fabric that goes well with the texture and color scheme of your interior.

You can also use any buttons (preferably a collection) that are completely idle. They may be different shapes, color, size.

For a new watch you need to prepare: an old watch or find hands with a mechanism, a hoop, fabric with buttons, braid/ribbon, and if you wish, a thin board/cardboard.

It shouldn’t be a pain to disassemble a clock mechanism/old clock in order to remake it for a new decor. The arrows should be removed along with the nuts that hold them together. It is important to know in this case in what sequence they are connected. The fabric is attached between the hoops, cut off the unnecessary edges, then sew on the buttons. Place the latter in accordance with the numbers on the dial.

Next, the watch mechanism itself is attached. You need to make a small hole right in the center of the dial, and on the other side you need to attach a mechanism so that the mount for the hands is right in the center of the dial of your watch. To secure the mechanism, cut a circle from a cardboard sheet or wood. Its diameter should be the same as the hoop. The mechanism is glued to it. You can also simply hang it on a ribbon that is attached to the hoop. We recommend making a loop so that you can hang the accessory on the wall. All that remains is to screw the arrows and voila! See options for similar items in our photos of DIY wall clocks.

Option No. 2

A clock can also be made from old unwanted magazines/newspapers.

To do this you need to prepare: 24 pages of equal size; pencil, scissors, transparent adhesive tape, long needle, silk thread intended for embroidery/floss, transparent plastic disks (2 pcs.), a cardboard circle with a hole right in the center, a clock mechanism with arrows.

So, first you need to take a pencil that is wrapped in newspaper. The tubes need to be made accordingly, 24 pieces. Their ends should be secured with adhesive tape, then they naturally will not unwind. Approximately the third part needs to be moved back from the end of the tube, then bent in half here.

You need to insert a thread of silk/floss into the needle, then thread it through the same bent tip paper straw. Pull the needle through and tie a knot at the end of the thread. Other tubes are sewn in the same way. They should be placed around your watch.

Place a prepared transparent disk on top of the tubes. This must be done so that the hole remains in the center of the circle, which was created thanks to the tubes. Then the mechanism is applied, taking into account that the place where your hands are fastened coincides with the hole in the disk. Then you need to turn the clock over and put in a second disk of the same type. Cardboard is placed on top of it, and the clock mechanism is attached using a nut. At the end, all you have to do is screw on the hour hands and voila!
