Monsters University Student ID Card Photo Prop

My children and I LOVED Monster University.  We stocked up on Red Vines and buttery popcorn and we laughed until our sides hurt.   Now my daughter wants a Monster University birthday party!  We created a Student ID Card Photo prop for a DIY photo booth. DIY Monsters University Student ID Card Photo prop at u-createcrafts.comYou could adapt this tutorial to fit any kind of party; I am thinking I will also make something like it for our Halloween party. The kids will love this!

Supplies:

  • Foam Core Poster Board
  • Utility Knife
  • Straight Edge Ruler
  • Blue Paint/Foam Brush
  • Black Marker
  • Digital Cutter and Vinyl

2-252520Foam-252520Core-252520Board-252520and-252520Photo-252520Prop_thumb-25255B4-25255DStep #1:  With a pencil, draw a straight line across your foam core board poster board five inches from the bottom.

11-252520Student-252520ID-252520Card-252520Template_thumb-25255B2-25255DStep #2:  Create a 12” x 12” square about 5 inches in from the right side of your board and 2 inches up from the bottom.  (You do not have to be this exact; I realize not everyone is as OCD as me. 🙂 )  Next, create another square just 1/4” smaller than the 12” squared one.

4-252520DIY-252520Party-252520ideas-252520Monsters-252520U_thumb-25255B2-25255DStep #3: Using the utility knife, carefully cut out the inner square.  I cut the board on my self-healing cutting mat which I typically use for cutting fabric.  (Give the inner square piece to your children and watch them try to throw it like a Frisbee around the house.)

5-252520Monster-252520University-252520Blue_thumb-25255B3-25255D6-252520Monster-252520University-252520party-252520sign-252520outlined_thumb-25255B2-25255D

Step #4:  Paint the bottom part and around the square with “Monster University” blue.  Outline with a thick black marker to hide the fact that maybe you can’t paint the straightest of lines. 7-252520Monster-252520University-252520Sign_thumb-25255B2-25255DStep #5: Create the “STUDENT” letters with your digital vinyl cutter, large stickers, or the freezer paper stencil method I mentioned above.  You can even free hand it or have a child paint it for a more personal touch.  I also created the university insignia and “Monsters University” using the ‘trace tool’ in my digital craft cutting program.  You can print these out using the sample ID card I found online; I then used the “trace” option for my Silhouette machine. I traced the image and cut it out of vinyl to create a stencil. OR just print the image on a large scale printer and glue it right on.

Monster-252520University-252520ID-252520Card-252520for-252520Party_thumb-25255B2-25255DStep #6: Hang a black table cloth as a photo backdrop and take pictures of your guests.  I think it would be fun to print them out as labels for cups, treats, etc. at a party!

      I used one typical poster board size foam board from the dollar store. You can use two and tape them down the back, if you want it larger. Thanks for commenting!
