Do you know what it takes to become a master of disguise? Practice and a proper photo booth, of course! For my son Harrison’s Spy-themed birthday party several years ago, I created a fun mustachioed photo booth full of props for all of his secret agent friends to practice their disguises. Read on to see how I set this DIY Spy Party Photo Booth up in 5 easy steps, and then check out the posts at the end for tons more Spy Party Inspiration!

How to Create a DIY Spy Party Photo Booth for Kids
Step 1 – Create your Backdrop.
First, I attached two sheets of pegboard together using zip ties. I really like to use peg board for backdrops where I am attaching items. Using the peg holes as a guide makes it really easy to line my items up and get them evenly spaced! However, sheets of cardboard or even just your wall and a ruler will also work.
Step 2 – Frame it and add signage.
Next, I leaned my boards against the wall, and then created a black frame using a tablecloth draped and attached to a clothes rack for a bit more dimension. I then pinned my signs to the black cloth. You could also use a photo booth frame for this.
Step 3 – Add mustaches.
The mustaches were fun, and didn’t need much more added. I attached multiple in rows, alternating colors. Later in the day, after all the photos were taken, the kids had fun trying on different mustache types.
Step 4 – Add more fun details.
To one side of the photo booth, I added a plank of wood painted with height markings, to add to the spy vibe.
Step 5 – Add spy props.
Finally, I placed a ton props next to the booth. Many of them were items I already had at home. For example, hats, glasses, coats, wigs and other “elements of disguise”. You could also add shirts, bags, ties etc. I also added some props I ordered online.
You can also purchase photo booth props for a spy party on either Amazon, Etsy or Oriental Trading.
