Making a photo zone for a year
The holiday should be not only fun, but also beautiful. At least many people strive to decorate the room for their birthday, to create the appropriate atmosphere. And even if the birthday boy is only one year old, and he can hardly appreciate parental training, the efforts are worth it. The mood of the guests, excellent photos for memory, and it's nice to praise yourself: therefore, the question of whether to make a photo zone for a year old for a child, for many moms and dads, can only have one affirmative answer.
Ideas for girls
You can not only successfully equip a photo zone at home, you can do it almost from scrap materials. Or buy what you can find in any stationery store.
Tips for arranging a photo zone for girls will help you decorate the space beautifully and original.
- The pink monopoly is canceled. Pink is not the only color suitable for a girl's photo zone. This gender stereotype is slowly being eroded by the abundance of other interesting coloristic ideas. And if you still like it, and you don't want to give up your preferences, you can consider different shades - more delicate, with a beige undertone, etc.
- Not only cartoon characters. Photo zones in the style of "Masha and the Bear", "Smeshariki", "Minions", "3 cats" makes sense to do if there are still children in the family, and children will also come to visit for the holiday. It is difficult for one-year-old children to appreciate the idea: they are not yet so confident in recognizing cartoon characters, and just to please other guests-children, such a design is useful.
- Originality. Perhaps the birthday can be associated with traditions or characteristics of a particular family.For example, the birthday girl's surname gives rise to some associations (you can recall an example when at a hockey player Ovechkin's holiday all the decor was associated with the cutest curly sheep, it was just charming).
- Stylistics. You can decorate a photo zone with an emphasis on a particular style. For example, remember the Victorian era, the works of Lewis Carroll. Or create jewelery with a shabby chic aesthetic with its sophisticated charm of cute shabby wear.
- With your own hands. Making all these garlands, rattle pendants, posters is a pleasure. Only you need to start not a couple of days before your birthday, but early, so that every detail is worked out.
About a month before the holiday, or even earlier, you need to start saving the pictures you like to a folder in order to choose the most successful idea later.
Themes for a girl's photo zone can be very different:
- “Flower Birthday” - young buds are just opening, but they are already so good;
- "Candy Shop" - the theme of bright and mouth-watering sweets gives rise to an analogy with sweet children;
- "Little Country" - amazing creatures, gnomes and trolls, unusual plants;
- "Festival of young fairies" - in addition, a magic wand in the hands of guests for a photo is required;
- “Lovely little mermaids” - not all one-year-old kids know how to walk, so a ponytail cape on the legs would be appropriate;
- "Chamomile Party" - one continuous "Hello, Tryam";
- "Star Birthday" - stars in all their variations;
- “Candy Kids” is a candy theme with an allusion to sweet kids.
Boys options
The idea of playing up the theme of the cartoon "The Boss-Baby Sucker" seems very attractive: at 1 year old babies are very reminiscent of the main character of the cartoon.
What other topics are interesting:
- "The Little Prince" is very romantic and will touch all the guests;
- "Heroes of Space" - kids still have a lot of flights to the stars;
- "Gentleman Party" - bow tie and sliders look very touching;
- "Hipsters" - as many costumes as a child changes in the first year of life, few fashionistas have;
- "Gulyandiya" is a country where you can play with toys all day long;
- "Doctor Aibolit" is a young doctor, of course, the birthday boy himself, but the images of cute animals in the photo zone will perfectly complement the theme and create a mood.
Again, the choice of colors seems already boring, stereotypical if it only consists of blue and pink.
You can arrange the whole party in an eco-boho style, which does not completely dispense with natural shades, calm, muted. And the holiday from this will not cease to be children's, and the children's will not cease to amaze.
Design Tips
Several life hacks from master decorators will help you organize a holiday at home and decorate a cool photo zone.
- Nothing is as easy and festive as garlands. Simple paper, multi-colored create a sense of celebration for every guest. But these will not necessarily be flags: circles, triangles, stripes, boats, birds and bears - anything can be cut out in large quantities and sewn on a typewriter.
- For a baby at 1 year old, tactile sensations are important. Therefore, it is just that the flat surface of the photo zone is not so interesting to him. But all sorts of pimples, pleasant roughness will interest the child. And while he is busy with them, you can make some memorable shots.
- You can think of one hero who will wander from birthday to birthday. For example, a bear, which will become a symbol of childhood, baby's growth. This is not just a toy, but a cardboard (not necessarily as an option) decoration that can be planted somewhere or hung. She will remain the same, and the baby will grow - year after year, watching these two in the photo is touching and interesting.
- The composition of the photo zone should be balanced. A bright accent, the main one, the auxiliary smaller ones - there are several of them. But simply to dazzle with the impossibility of subsequently focusing the attention of guests would be a mistake.
- In a photo zone that is too bright, abundant in color and quantity of details, guests risk being completely lost. Therefore, you need to think it over so that the guests seem framed by the design, and not be absorbed by it.
- If you have props that guests can pick up, perfect. Because just what to do with these same hands, they usually do not know. It can be balloons, toys, mustaches / glasses / hats on sticks, and large paper or cardboard sweets.
- The simplest and most affordable material for decoration is paper. Not only elegant garlands come out of ordinary colored paper, but also voluminous flowers, firanks, confetti. And it's not expensive. It is worth considering that in a regular store, in the school supplies section, you can also find cool printed paper.
- The wooden frame-frame will be reusable: next year, you can put on a new base for a new photo zone. In a word, the efforts to assemble it will pay off.
- The photo zone must be installed in the place where the best light is.
- A cool print for the photo zone can be the prints of the baby's feet and palms: Someone has a polka dot background, but here is something more interesting.
It is not a crime to repeat someone's successful ideas: all the same, people who become the main characters of the photo will not be repeated.
