Sequin DIY Photo Booth- Pink
This was such a fun project to create so I'm sharing my experience and
story of how I built our Pink Sequin Paillette DIY Photo Booth backdrop
for our daughter's party. It was for her birthday and of course she
wanted pink:)....girl after my own heart.

Change up the color to match any theme for a wedding...party!

Step 5:
Create a guide with cardstock/board to space and pin your rows of brass sequin pins at an angle so sequins will not fall off easily. We did one row full of pins, then hung the sequins. My guide was 8cm or roughly 2.5 inches yet it will depend on what sequin size you purchase. My paillette sequins were 60mm....about 2.5 inches.Step 6:
Hang your sequins, stagger your sequins so that each space is covered by a sparkly gem:)Took us 2 days because we took our time and it was tiring, my finger was sore.
