Supplies Needed
If you are printing the photo booth props, I recommend using a white heavy or medium weight cardstock. I use this medium weight cardstock for printing photo booth props. You will also need cake pop sticks to attach to the back.
If you are making layered photo booth props with your Cricut, then you will need:
- 12×12 Medium Weight Cardstock in a variety of colors. This is a great variety pack for all the colors you will need.
- You can also use glitter cardstock in red and blue.
- Cake Pop Sticks
- A good paper craft glue – this Bearly Art craft glue is what I am using.
- Cricut Maker or Explore Cutting Machine and a cutting mat.

Step-By-Step Instructions
There are 3 different ways that you can make photo booth props with these templates:
- Use the PDF file to print the 4th of July photo booth props and cut around them using scissors.
- Use the SVG file to use the print then cut method with your Cricut (print them and then the Cricut cuts them for you).
- Use the SVG file to make layered photo booth props with your Cricut or Silhouette cutting machine. There is also a DXF file if your Silhouette uses this type of file.
Making Layered Photo Booth Props
To make layered 4th of July Photo Booth Props, start by uploading the SVG file to Cricut Design Space. For help with uploading SVG files, check out my tutorial here.
The files are already the perfect size, but you can resize them if you prefer a different size. Just make sure to click on “ungroup” to ungroup all the files before you modify them. Once they are ready to go, select “Make It” and cut everything out.
Assemble the photo props just as they are layered in Cricut Design Space, add the stick to the back (I use hot glue for this) and they are ready to go!
Using Cricut Print Then Cut to Make Photo Booth Props
To print and cut the 4th of July photo booth props with your Cricut, start by uploading the SVG file to Cricut Design Space. Click on “Ungroup” to ungroup the photo booth props.
If you want to make any color changes to the designs, do this first. Click on the layer of the color that you want to change and change the color using the layers panel. Then click on each design layer and select “flatten”. You will need to repeat this step for each of the layers that are grouped (have the arrow next to them).
For the layers that are a single layer (don’t have the arrow to the left), click on the layer and change the operation to print then cut.
Once all of your layers are done, click on “Make” and then “Continue”. Select “Send to Printer” and print the first sheet of your photo booth props.
Once the sheet is printed, add the sheet to your cutting mat, just as you see it in the mat preview. Load the mat in your Cricut and press the flashing Cricut button. Your Cricut will first scan the sheet and then cut around the designs.
Note: If your Cricut has issues cutting around the design, make sure that the design is facing the same direction and in the same position as on the mat preview. Also, make sure you are in a well lit area as poorly lit areas can cause the Cricut to not sense the design correctly.
Repeat these steps for each mat layer. Once everything is printed and cut, glue the sticks to the back and your 4th of July photo booth props are ready to go!
When you’re done, make sure to post these in my crafting group here or tag me if you post them on social media. I would love to see how yours come out!
