A party just isn’t a party without great photos! {smiling} Providing photos ops which help the memories endure are always a top priority for me. A photo booth is always a must have at a party that I host as it doubles as a party game and DIY Decor. It’s also a great way to cover a not so pretty spot in your home or a gym.
Selfie Stations or Photo Booths are also an easy activity for kids and adults of all ages. Here’s a Minion Selfie Station or photo booth idea that I created for our Blue and Gold Banquet for Cub Scouts which had a Minion theme.
Blue and Gold Photo Booth

Materials Needed:
- Yellow butcher paper
- Minion Eyeball {free printable}
- Despicable Me photo props {from Etsy}
How to Make:
1. Print the Eye Googles.
For the eyes I printed out these Free Printable Despicable Me 2 Minion Goggles and Mouths quite a bit larger than their original size. At first, I printed them in black and white and on draft a couple times until I got the size that was proportional to the poster boards. Then once I had the right size, I printed them out in full color on matte photo paper so there wouldn’t be a glare for pictures.
Since they were so large, it took 6 sheets of paper per Google. I cut them out and taped them together on the back. If any of the front seams where popping out I took a clear glue stick to adhesive down.
Tip: I tried to get these printed at Office Max on poster paper but they wouldn’t do it since they are a trademarked character even though they were hand drawn and not a copy-written image.
2. Print Photo Props
Print and cut out the Despicable Me photo props on matte photo paper. Tape a wooden dowel or skewer to the back of each prop at an angle so they are easier to photograph.
Optional: Stick the photo props in a vase or cover a rectangle of craft foam with paper so they are cute and won’t fall over or get ruined thrown on a table.
How to Play:
Since this is a selfie station, it requires little explanation or assistance. I had my camera set up on a tripod. However, so many people had their phones with them so it was easier than I had anticipated. Everyone enjoyed the photo op!
