One of the most exciting parts of newborn and baby photography is not just the cute, adorable subjects I get to work with, but the fun and creativity involved with every photo session. With spring in the air I wanted to create some beautiful spring themed set ups and loved the idea of the floral baby bonnet prop to use at the studio.
Some of these bonnets can go from $40US – $100US on websites like etsy…. however you don’t need to spend a ton of money on expanding your prop collection if you have a little creativity and a hot glue gun. One of my favorite things to do other then photography is creating beautiful handmade photo props to use during my sessions.
I just fell in love with creating these little bonnets that I wanted to share a little “how to make a floral baby bonnet prop” video tutorial to show you has easy it is to create unique custom handmade newborn and baby photo props without breaking the bank.
In less then 20 minutes and for about $10 you can create a unique photo prop….
Here are a list of supplies you will need:
– 4 – 5 Silk floral steams (or bouquet) Check Micheals
– Light weight fabric or scarf
– Sheet of felt… 8 x 12
– Hot glue gun and sticks
– Scissors

Thank you for creating this! I had purchased one, but it takes so long to get them and they are so expensive… now I can make them 🙂
Your welcome Mary Beth…. They can be really expensive which is why I try to DIY for a lot of my props…
Soooo cute!! You are so creative!
Thank you so much. I can’t wait to try this!
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! Awesome job!
Aww, this is so cute! I love this!
This is sooooo sweet, I cant wait to try it. What age does this fit best?
I have had them on little ones from 5 months to 18 months… for the smaller ones I just clip the felt in the back to make it tighter so it doesnt move as much… I have yet to try this size on a newborn.. excited to though…
Oh my goodness this is so cute!!
Made one and loved the result. Would love to share with you. Thanks for the video!
I had someone ask me to make some for her but I cant find any info on the pattern sizing between sitter and new born?! Can anyone help me?
Thanks cant wait to make these in all different colors 🙂
