DIY Baby Photo Posing Stand

A sleeping baby is too irresistible not to picture.

If you're like most parents, from the very start of your baby’s life up to the present day, you have been constantly taking pictures. Taking your own photos of your baby is a great way to keep money in your pocket. Some popular poses for babies include a baby snuggled in a blanket inside a wicker basket, on his tummy on a colorful baby blanket, or while a family member is cradling him. Making your own photo stand from a beanbag can also give you a variety of different shots to capture with your camera.

Things You'll Need

• Beanbag
• Polyester stuffing
• Fabric

Instructions

1. Purchase a soft-textured beanbag in the size that you desire. You want to buy a beanbag that has a zipper that allows you to open the bag. Unzip the beanbag.

2. Add polyester stuffing to the beanbag until it becomes a soft yet firm surface for your baby to lie on. The stuffing will help prop the baby up so his bottom half sinks into the beanbag.

3. Drape a soft-textured fabric such as silk, velvet, crochet, faux fir or any other fabric that has an interesting texture over the stuffed beanbag. Nestle your baby in the fabric.
