Read MoreMy good friend Chanda Brae - from Baby Rock Photography, needed a lemonade stand prop to use with her baby photo shoots - so I made one :)
I wanted to build in a little flexibility for this so I basically made it a little bit longer one way, so that it could be turned on a different end and made a little taller - I also made the top sign part removable and there's slots for it on each side as well
for the big sign - I attached that with velcro so that other signs and shapes could be used and switched out whenever needed
and as an added touch I added a little dowel to hang little signs on
Here's a few pictures of the finished piece - note it's small because it's for babys :)
