Just want to say thank you, I love your videos not just because they are genius but also because you don’t waste time with boring Intros,you go straight to the point which make me keep watching.. LOVE THEM ALL! Thanks again!
I like yours too. I made a few backdrops myself but instead of buying foam board I used discarded cardboard boxes from stores such as my local grocery, etc. I then cut my panels to the same size & scored them as needed so that they would fold up. As far as decorating, one is covered in fabric purchased by the yard on sale. The other is painted with a stenciled "tile" on top. I am thinking of making some holiday themed ones in the future. Super simple & cheap to make. The creative options are endless! TFS yours as well. Who knows? Someone may make a hybrid using both of our ideas!
This is a good idea to use if you live in an apartment and can't paint your walls. I saw another idea that I could use instead of painting my walls but this appears to be a less expensive way to add color to white walls.
Hi Kenyce. The flower and the marble contact paper I just placed it by a wall. You make sides, like a presentation tri fold board, and it stands by itself. It’s thin and light and can be put away easily. Hope this helped. 😊❤️
This is a wonderful idea and so inexpensive to put together. The best part about it in my opinion is that it can be tailored to any theme many times over. You come up with best DIYs. Love your channel. But you already new that. :) #YourFan
I'm totally blown away with your creativity. Your creations are beautiful and you make inexpensive for all to enjoy. I'm glad I found you. I'm definitely taking what I learned to make my event a success.
I’m not sure what I’d do with a backdrop, but I’m about to convert a barn/garden into a crafting area and foam board may be a good replacement for plywood. I can imagine using the foam board for a bulletins board. Thanks
@@melissagarcia6477 they come in 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1inch and 2 inch thicknesses. Some have paper on one or both sides and some have no paper. You can find them at chain "big box" stores, home improvement stores or building supply stores. They come in a range of prices as well, so shop around and compare before you buy.
Or you can save $$$ by buying the materials at a dollar store like she did. $9 (9 boards), tape, art sticks = $11 vs $29+ at Home Depot. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Hope. No I didn't know, it would have worked beautifully in this project. Thanks for the info. I'll check it out, maybe I can use it for another project also. Thanks.
OMG so glad I found this. I need to make a foldable background because I teach from home and space is soooo limited with a toddler. This is cheap and perfect ! Thankyou ! My question is if I wanted to make a foldable one (similar to a room divider) would it stand by itself or would I have to prop it against something ?
Hello. If you make the backdrop into 3 parts, like a Trifold Presentation Board, it could stand up by itself. Otherwise you need to attach to wall (use poster Command strips or glue picture frame hooks to the board). I am working on another backdrop (hopefully I will finish soon) it might stand up (fingers crossed). Thank you soo much for your comment.
Hi Jen. You can glue picture frame hooks (those with teeth) to the back of the foam. Or you can use command poster strips (put a few depending on how big you make it) in back of the foam and stick it to the wall. You can also just nail it to the wall. The panels are soo light weight. Thank you for watching!
Hi Jen. Maybe you can make the backdrop with 3 foam boards high (connected by craft sticks) and connect to another 3 foam boards but just use tape so it can fold. The foam backdrop should last. You can also make them separate and then connect them with tape, which can be cut (removed) off, after your event. Hope this helps.
Hello. You don't place craft sticks on the place you are going to fold. You just reinforce with tape, and only in the front. The tape is strong enough, and if you use contact paper on it, it becomes even more so. Hope this helps you out. Thanks♥
Hello. The amount of foam boards really depends on the width that you need. The pink petal has 6, contact marble one has 9, and the folded one (in the middle of the picture) has 21. Hope this helps. 😊

Love that idea. I am sure they will turn out beautifully. 🥰❤️❤️❤️
That’s not a bad idea at all and imagine that behind a bed......love it!!

Wow I have been following so many people to see how to make a back drop for my daughter's baby shower. Than you for sharing your crafts
Hope your backdrop turns out beautifully.♥
@@diykarem thank you for sharing again 😊
I wish I saw this before I bought a screen for Zoom calls!

I was thinking of something similar! So glad i came across this.
Very beautiful and creative.Cant wait 2 make this
Amassing work, awesome wow it's great idea.
Loved this video.....in looking for inexpensive ideas to switch up the background in my RUclips videos, this video was SUPER helpful 😍
perfect! I had similar idea but yours is better than mine. Thank you.
Or buy 4X8 sheets of foam board from Home Depot, Lowes, Menards. Or your favorite!
This one was very helpful. Keep up the good work.
OMG! This was so inspiring! I definitely will take some tips away from this. Some people are just so creative! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you!
So cute thanks for sharing
Cool video nice job
Wow I really wish you showed us how you got it to stand

great job....I like this.
Or you can buy 4 foot by 8 foot Styrofoam sheets at any home improvement store.
Thank you!
Are they thick? Around how much?
@@melissagarcia6477 they come in 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1inch and 2 inch thicknesses.

omg! thank you thank you!
This is amaze balls! Thx!
Did you know that they make bling contact paper Walmart sells it. It would work great for this project the next time you make it
Hi Hope. No I didn't know, it would have worked beautifully in this project. Thanks for the info. I'll check it out, maybe I can use it for another project also. Thanks.
Amazingggggg!!!!
Awesome
This is Awesome. Thank you for sharing. New Subbie here!
Welcome and thank you for subscribing.♥
Aww how sweet thanks for the heart!!
Yesss wonderful idea💪🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Use a Cricut to cut out "In the Event" and apply (I thought of this after seeing the monogram intials).
Thanks for idea & thank you for watching.
how about the stands?
OMG so glad I found this. I need to make a foldable background because I teach from home and space is soooo limited with a toddler. This is cheap and perfect ! Thankyou !

I am working on another backdrop (hopefully I will finish soon) it might stand up (fingers crossed). Thank you soo much for your comment.
Good idea, can less craft sticks be used and still provide stability to the foam board?
Hi. Yes you could use less craft sticks. I just want it too last me while I move them around (a lot). Hope this helps. Thank you for watching.
A and M that's our initials!!!
Do i need to use stick on both sides
Hi. No, you just need sticks on one side. The other side you can decorate with flowers, contact paper whatever you want. 😊❤️
Thank you for the video very creative and beautiful. How do you hang it up or keep it stable along the wall?
Hi Jen. You can glue picture frame hooks (those with teeth) to the back of the foam. Or you can use command poster strips (put a few depending on how big you make it) in back of the foam and stick it to the wall. You can also just nail it to the wall. The panels are soo light weight. Thank you for watching!
In the Event... I'm just thinking if I need to transport it around something I don't have to keep replacing and can be used everywhere I go
Hi Jen. Maybe you can make the backdrop with 3 foam boards high (connected by craft sticks) and connect to another 3 foam boards but just use tape so it can fold. The foam backdrop should last. You can also make them separate and then connect them with tape, which can be cut (removed) off, after your event. Hope this helps.
Loved that music..can you please send me the link
Hi Artsy priya. I purchased the music at www.pond5.comMusic by: Carefree Ukulele 35798416 by seastockaudio
Purchased at: www.pond5.com
Can you please send me that?
Where do you fold the board without the causing the sticks to be disturbed 😳
Hello. You don't place craft sticks on the place you are going to fold. You just reinforce with tape, and only in the front. The tape is strong enough, and if you use contact paper on it, it becomes even more so. Hope this helps you out. Thanks♥
How many foam boards did you use
Hello. The amount of foam boards really depends on the width that you need. The pink petal has 6, contact marble one has 9, and the folded one (in the middle of the picture) has 21. Hope this helps. 😊
@@diykarem Thank you for the information will send pic after.
Can’t wait to see it😄❤️
