newborn photography airplane props

With time limited, we quickly gathered some cardboard, a pen, a ruler, and paint or felt fabric for covering.

Here’s how we did it:

1. Draw the outline of a propeller, wings, and tail on the cardboard.
2. Construct a box using the cardboard, or modify an existing box by removing curved sections from two sides to resemble the shape of an airplane. This way, when posing the newborn, their body will fit into the structure.
3. Paint the cardboard or cover it with felt. We opted for white and red felt to mimic a classic airplane design, ensuring the cardboard remains sturdy.
4. Attach the propeller, wings, and tail to the box using glue.
5. As with any other prop, create a comfortable space for the newborn using beans, pillows, and soft fabrics.

In just a few simple steps, we transformed basic materials into a unique and charming prop that perfectly suited our client’s wishes.
