A good-looking picnic cloth is the basic operation of a picnic. After all, all photos need to be based on the picnic cloth.
The popular pastoral style patterns and frigid style stripes are both common players on Instagram.
Nowadays, many solid-color picnic mats have become unmistakable favorites. Under the sunlight, the natural texture of the cloth can even be seen with a hint of oil painting texture.
Tips: It is best for the picnic mat to be moisture-proof and waterproof, but in order to have a natural and relaxing feeling, you can choose a cotton picnic mat and then add a waterproof disposable plastic tablecloth underneath.
2. Picnic basket
Picnic basket is also one of the core props to create a sense of picnic. I believe that every girl who loves picnics dreams of owning a British-style picnic basket.
There are many types. The most basic style is the bamboo basket without a lid. The more upgraded version is the basket with double-sided lids. The luxurious version adds tableware storage.
When you open the basket, you will see that it is full of tableware, which is full of ceremony. When closed, it looks like a woven suitcase, and it is quite stylish to carry.
Tips: It is not recommended to buy a meal basket that is too big, smaller ones are more delicate. After the picnic, you can also put it at home to store miscellaneous items. It doesn't take up any space and can also be used as a decoration.
3. Picnic tableware
Picnics are also indispensable without the blessing of tableware. Do you have dinner plates, snack racks, goblets at home? You can bring these tableware made of glass, and they will be more convenient for taking photos. It has texture.
Although appearance is important, considering the weight issue, if the picnic place is far away from home, it is also quite appropriate to use paper boxes or disposable tableware. PS: Remember to take away the garbage in time when you leave, always pay attention to protecting the environment, and be a civilized picnicker!
4. Other supplies
There are also some "yes, but not necessary" "Props may sometimes become the finishing touch in your picnic blockbuster.
