Begin by painting a panel from the DIY Photo Booth Backdrop solid gray.
Next, cut three isosceles triangles out of foam board. To ensure the two long sides of the triangles are equal, measure to the center of one of the short ends of each foam board. Run a strip of washi tape from each corner of the opposite short end of the board to the center point. Use an exacto knife to carefully cut along the washi tape to form the triangles. I used an alternate larger piece of foam board I had on hand for the center mountain on my backdrop.
Now paint each of the newly formed foam board mountains. I chose to paint each mountain a different color: yellow, dark blue and mint green.
To create the woodland garland, paint four DIY Wood Tree Ornaments mint green with light tan trunks.
Once the painted mountains have dried, download the snowcaps template here, and then trace them onto white felt. Cut three snowcap shapes and use tacky glue to adhere them to each mountain.
Using the mountain template found here, trace and cut three mountains out of yellow, blue and grey felt. You'll need to trace two pieces per shape. Once you've cut the mountain shapes, cut the snowcaps from the mountain template and trace them onto white felt. Use tacky glue to adhere them to each mountain.
Now, cut a long length of Natural Jute Cording to stretch the span of your dessert table. Thread the jute cording through the DIY Wood Tree Ornaments and alternate the felt mountains you created evenly spaced in between. Next, place the mountain shapes back to back, and sandwich the jute cording between them. Use tacky glue to secure the jute cording to the top of one side of each of the mountain shapes, then run a bead of glue down each side of the mountain. Make sure to leave the bottom open so you can insert the quilt batting to create mini "pillows". Finally, glue the bottoms together once you have filled the felt mountains with batting.
Now add the foam board mountains to the backdrop using a few pieces of double sided foam tape. We placed the larger mountain in the center of the backdrop first, and then layered the two smaller mountains atop the larger one.
Using small adhesive hooks on either side of the dessert table, hang the woodland garland. To give the woodland garland added visual interest, layer it in front of a Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Garland.
Finally, display your backdrop behind the dessert table to make a statement during your Mountain Themed Baby Shower!
