In my previous post was a picture of my baby inspired by Pinterest photos of babies month by month. In this post I will show you how I created this photo.
How I made the ribbon badge:
1: You will need some silver paper plates, coloured paper, 3 packets of stick on gems and some PVA glue. I got these items from Poundland. You will also need scissors and Sellotape.
2: Take a sheet of yellow, blue and pink paper, fold and cut each one in two. Fold one of the halves in roughly 1 inch sections and cut them up.
3: Cut the middle section out of the plate.
4: Fold each 'finger' of blue paper in half and stick on the back of the plate at 12 o clock, 6 o clock, 3 o clock and 9 o clock. Then stick one in between each of those.
5: Do the same with the yellow 'fingers'. Fold the pink 'fingers' in half again and cut down the fold.
6: Stick the pink 'fingers' in between the yellow and blue ones.
7: Fold in half and staple together the 3 bits of paper you have left over.
8: Stick them on the back of the plate.
9: Take another plate and cut the inside section out as before. Cover the back of the plate with everything stuck on with PVA glue.
10: Stick the plate you just cut out onto the original plate and leave under a mattress for an hour.
11: Using the black gems, cut to size and arrange onto the plate whatever you would like it to say.
12: Finally decorate using the heart and star gems.
How I made the photo:
1: Arrange pillows against a corner of a wall on your bed.
2: Drape over a throw. I got mine from Primark for £5.
3: After baby's fed and burped lay him on the throw.
4: Lay your ribbon badge against the pillow behind your baby.
5: Take the pic! Finish off by using some Instagram effects and voila!
