back to school ready.
I saw this backdrop from the original creator in a mini session Facebook group, and I instantly fell in love. I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do with it for ‘back to school ready’ pictures, or even preschool/kinder graduation pictures!
When I saw the backdrop was available to purchase, I immediately snagged it, and got everything together I needed for the setup.

I didn’t follow the pencil tutorial exactly, and I didn’t use the same paint colors. But they turned out so amazing. For the tips of the pencil I used a styrofoam cone, and just wrapped it in felt to mimic a real pencil tip.
For the “bubble gum” I just used a 5″ pink balloon and inflated it to the size I wanted, it works like a charm every time.
If you’re looking for a cute, but neutral, back to school ready mini setup – this is perfect. I love that it works for boys or girls, and you can do all ages on it too. It really is the perfect set.
