Begin by painting the Foam Core Poster Board with the Gold Metallic Paint by Basics. Let dry for about 30 minutes.

Use the Accu Cut Machine at any of our stores to cut out the letters and numbers you need! We used Glitter Foam Sheets, Metallic Poster Board Paper and foil tissue paper for the letters and numbers. Adhere the letters and numbers to the board using double sided tape and some pop dots!

Photo Booth Fun

Who's ready for their close-up? We've just set up some fun photo booth stations for everyone at Enchanted Lake Ben Franklin. Check out some of these great pics we got when we caught some of our employees and their families photo boothin' around.

A few of our employees "monkeying" around with the Holiday Chic frame and props.

Asia, Greg, and Sarah trying to class it up in our Champagne and Ice photo station.

I think this picture was just to see how many people and props we could fit in our polaroid frame.

Last, but not least, here's Toni and friends hamming it up with class and a glass.

All of our props and frames for each of our themes were made by some lovely Ben Franklin employess out of foam core and then painted with acrylic paint. You are welcome to stop in and have some fun this Christmas season with us and our photo booth stations.
