Ashely Rose Photography was so sweet to share her crafty little DIY project with us. Lips & Mustaches on a Stick. Perfect for a wedding favor and incredibly cute for a little prop at your engagement shoot or wedding.
Make your own Lips & Mustaches on a Stick and poof you have cute props for your photo booth/ or photo shoot!
Supplies
1. $1.99Clay (I prefer Sculpty, but SIMO is good too)
2. $1.99 Wooden craft sticks (pack of 20)
3. Toothpick
4. Hot Glue Gun
5. Pyrex Dish
Once you decide on the color of clay you want for your lips or mustaches buy enough for how many you would like.
1 lil block of clay made me= 4 lips / 3 mustaches
So I bought accordingly
Lips:
1. roll clay into a ball
2. Flatten ball on a hard surface (I actually just used a paper plate)
3. Pinch the sides of the “now flatten” ball, so it becomes more of a pinched circle
4. Now started pushing the top part of the clay downward to make the lip peak
5. It kind of starts to resembled a heart. Now elongate the heart a bit more to create the look of a lip.
6. Take your tooth pick and create the “smile” line in your lips now!
You will definitely see the smile line in photographs, so it’s the perfect touch to make it look like lips!
Do-It-Yourself Mustaches
1. roll clay into a 2 balls
2. Flatten out balls on a hard surface (used a paper plate again)
3. Now you have 2 round flat circles
4. Pinch them together and pinch the ends of them as well
5. It will semi resemble a bow tie ;)
6. Then go ahead and create the “hair” lines in the clay for the finish touch
Once you have made more lips/mustaches place in a large glass Pyrex dish
Preheat over to: 275 degrees
Bake clay for: 13 minutes
Let clay cool
Now just glue the wooden craft sticks to the back of your clay lips/mustaches. For mine I like the look of the stick being off to the side (kind of like a mask) So I positioned mine a little to the left! And poof you have cute props for your photo booth/ or photo shoot!

Such a great and simple tutorial–and cute idea!
[...] This is where the photo is from, as well as detailed instructions on how to make them. It seems that these particular ones are made out of clay. I have not yet figured out why you would want these, but then again, who am I to judge? I don’t like peanut butter or mint-flavored dessert items, so I don’t really have a leg to stand on when it comes to judging peoples’ taste. Also, I have discovered that I am a really big fan of tailoring your wedding to whatever the heck you think is cute and/or awesome, and these fine folks clearly like this idea. So I say: Godspeed, you mustachioed couples. Godspeed. [...]
