Gorgeous Ampersand Wedding Photo Prop! (With a Free Download!)

Looking for a way to add flair to your engagement or wedding photos? Look no further! The following is a super easy tutorial for creating the "Ampersand" photo prop you see above.  You won't need any fancy materials. The only thing you may have to purchase is some white paint!

Materials:
1. Ampersand Template (click here for a free template)! This Ampersand is slightly different from mine. You may want to play around with Microsoft Word if you have a specific font in mind.
2. A cereal box or cracker box.
3. White paint and paintbrush.
4. Glue. I used EK Success Glue. This glue has a nice large tip and turns colors to let you know how sticky the glue is. But, any glue will work!

Assembly:
1. Print a copy of the free Ampersand template. 
2. Cut out the white parts of the template so you are left with a black Ampersand.
3. Using the black Ampersand as a template, trace the Ampersand on your cereal or cracker box (who knew those boxes could be so handy)!
4. Cut out your traced Ampersands. You should have two cereal box Ampersands now.
5. Glue the two pieces together (I found that just using one cereal box wasn't quite sturdy enough).
6. Paint the front of the Ampersand.

Voila! You have a beautiful Ampersand, and the material costs are probably less than $1! When we were getting married, I saw Ampersand props online and loved them. But when I tried to buy them, I saw them being sold for $25 and up! That's terrible! Hope you get a chance to use this!

Much love,
