Are you ready to get festive for Mardi Gras? Photo Booth of the Stars is and we are thrilled to share some really cool ideas with you that you can enjoy this Fat Tuesday.
First, though, we want to share some knowledge about the history of Mardi Gras so you know why you are celebrating in the first place. Mardi Gras originally came about to mark the end of a time that Roman Catholics called “Carnival Season.” It ended just before the beginning of Lent which starts on Ash Wednesday. Lent is a time where those who observe withhold and repent, so the Tuesday before is known sort of as a last hurrah!
Now that you know why you’re celebrating, enjoy these great DIY’s to get you into the Mardi Gras spirit!
Wow! We can’t get enough of this Deco Mesh Mardi Gras Jester Mask Door Wreath and Garland we found from Southern Charm Wreaths. They are breathtakingly beautiful and everyone at Photo Booth of the Stars agreed that these might just stop traffic!
Want to see how it is done? You are in luck, because there is a step-by-step video that shows exactly how she made her wreath as well as that garland. You can see the videos HERE and make your own.
We saw these DIY centerpieces and immediately thought they could do double-duty as photo booth prop holders as well as really cool centerpieces.
