Inspirational Projects — How to Display Your Instagram Photos

Posted by Esther Gim on Oct 25, 2012

What's the fun in using Instagram when all you can do is admire artsy photographs on your phone?

These crafty ladies created fun photos using pictures from the popular photo-filtering app. From an iPad case cover to a photo strip and a clock, check out how to display your Instagram photos.

Instagram iPad case

Keep those beautiful Instagram photos close to you by creating your own iPad cover. This project cost Ashley $20 to make — it would've been around $55 for a custom-made one. Don't have an iPad? Gift a handmade cover to someone you know who does!

Freeze Frame

This project by Brandi uses clothespins and wires to display your Instagram photos in a vintage frame in a fun way. If you don't have old frames lying around, they're the perfect things to thrift around for!

Check out the step-by-step tutorial at The Lilypad.

Photo Strip

Meli's photo strip template will make it easy for you to create your own and display your Instagram photos. Hang it up or even use it as a bookmark. Trust us, you'll be making more than just one!

Download the template from the tutorial at Blush & Jelly.

Inspiration Book

Sprucing up a regular notebook with snapshots of your life will make you want to carry it wherever your go! All it takes is a little bit of copying and pasting and adhering the photos to the cover.

Find the inspiration at A Beautiful Mess.

Photo Coasters

Add a personal touch to your drink coasters by displaying your Instagram photos. Becky's project turned out "crackled," and the accidental misstep turned out for the best!

Check out the project at Clean White Paper.

Tell Time with Instatime

There's so much to like about this project because it serves many purposes — especially if you have young children. It's a combination of pre-teaching (a visual depiction of what to expect) and education (telling time). So cutely personalized, it won't even feel like your kids are learning.

Find the inspiration at Land of Nod.

Instagram Album

An album is the best way to admire your photos year round because it's a keepsake that'll keep growing!

See the tutorial for the album at The Nearsighted Owl.

Instagram Magnets

This project is so much cheaper than custom ordering them! Six magnets for $3 — how can you beat that? Keep them for yourself or surprise a friend by selecting photos from his/her Instagram photo stream and gifting them.

The step-by-step tutorial is available at The Junk House.
