"Props!"

Just this past week I was asked to make some photo props for a campfire-themed event. The photo op set included tree stumps, fall leaves, and a campfire, but it was missing one thing -- s'mores! Away I went!
Grab a sharpie, and get that imagination rolling! Remember, these are props. Comedic props. The bold black lines don't need to be perfect. When you finish, cut them out and be sure to leave at least a 1/8" margin which helps with the cartoon effect.

Because you don't want the visuals moving when guests are holding them, tape the dowel rods as closely as possible to the paper. A straight edge works best and will help eliminate the bubbles as well.


No one wants splinters. Once you clip the dowel rods to size, sand the tips and they're ready for the photo shoot!

Marshmallows, graham crackers, milk chocolate, even a few flames -- where's the camera?
