Custom Bokeh

I read about custom bokeh filters, and I was curious to try it out, so here are three shots. Tell me what you think. These are super simple!

I saw the same thing on DIY photography. Your shots are nice. I tried a few with Mickey ears and the castle with my daughter in from of the Christmas tree. I am now on the look out for a better material to pinch out other than black construction paper. What did you use?

A piece of scrapbook paper. I hijacked it from my wife.

I love it! My girlfriend gets these custom hole punch things from stationary stores - butterflies, hearts, stars, etc, to do something similar. Never thought of doing a Disney variation.

We prefer to have something in focus in the foreground, rather than a full-frame bokeh. This seems to enhance the effect.

It definatly helps make a unique portrait. Fir those looking you can get these punches at your local craft store, my wife has a box full of them.
