20 Ohio State Buckeyes photo props on sticks in scarlet and gray arranged as a party centerpiece

Strike a Pose, Buckeyes: The 20-Piece Ohio State Photo Prop Kit That Doubles as a Centerpiece

The best parties produce the best photos, and the best photos usually involve someone holding a giant Block O in front of their face. The Ohio State Buckeyes photo prop kit gives your guests 20 scarlet and gray props to grab, hold, and pass around, and when nobody is posing, the same props stand up in a vase as the table centerpiece.

Two jobs, one box. Set it up in five minutes before the game, the grad party, or the birthday, and it works all night.

Assembly is peel, stick, done. Press an adhesive strip to the back of a cutout, press the stick onto the strip, and the prop is ready. Twenty props takes about five minutes, and because the paper is heavy enough to reuse, you only do it once.

Two Ways to Use It

As photo props. Set the props in a bucket next to a backdrop, a wall, or just a good spot of light, and guests will do the rest.

  1. Game-day photo booth. Pair the props with the matching Ohio State paper fan backdrop and a phone on a tripod. By halftime you have the group photo.
  2. Graduation party. The grad with a cap, a gown, and a Block O prop is the photo that goes on the announcement and the fridge.
  3. Kids' birthdays. Twenty props means every kid gets one to hold for the cake photo and nobody fights over the last one.
  4. Tailgate. Hand them out in the lot. They are light enough to pass around and sturdy enough to survive the afternoon.

As a centerpiece. Stand the props upright in a mason jar, vase, or small bucket with some scarlet and gray tissue paper around the base. Set one on each table, and the props are decor until a guest pulls one out to pose.

For the centerpiece version, cluster props at three heights (tallest in the back) so the arrangement reads as full from across the room.

Why Hosts Pick This Kit

  • Official Ohio State logos. The cutouts carry the real marks, not a generic scarlet-and-gray approximation, which is what makes the photos look like an OSU party.
  • Twenty props. Most photo prop sets stop at ten or twelve. Twenty means a full crowd can pose at once, and there are spares when one goes home in a kid's backpack.
  • Everything included. Sticks and adhesive strips are in the box, so there is no run to the craft store for dowels and glue.
  • Reusable. The props are printed on heavy paper and fold flat, so the same set covers the season opener, the birthday, and graduation.
  • Pulls double duty. Centerpiece before the photos, props during, centerpiece again after. One purchase, two jobs.
  • Matches the full line. PartyKandy makes coordinating Ohio State plates and napkins, a pre-strung banner, paper fan backdrop, cupcake toppers, and baking cups, so the props fit a full theme.
  • Made by a small US business. PartyKandy is a woman-owned company operating in the USA, with FSC-sourced, recyclable materials.

A Gift That Makes the Party Better

For the Buckeyes fan who hosts, this kit is the gift that improves their next party instead of adding to the closet. Give it with a jar for the centerpiece, or pair it with the Ohio State backdrop as a photo-booth-in-a-box. It also makes an easy contribution when someone else is hosting the graduation party or the watch party and you want to bring more than chips.

Ready to pose? Grab the 20-piece Ohio State Buckeyes photo prop and centerpiece kit, drop the props in a jar on the table, and let the guests take it from there. Go Bucks.
