How-To Tuesday: Instagram Photo Display

Why hello there! Fancy meeting you here! I have been getting back into the craft season, and haven't had any time to dream up new How Tos, but I thought a simple one featuring something I did in my own home would be great as well. And the best part? It's pretty cheap, and easy, too!


All you need are:
  • Printed Instagram photos
  • Nails
  • Yarn
  • Miniature clothespins
Prior to a few months ago, you had to use online services to print your Instagram photos. Now, you can upload and edit photos on your phone using a couple of options: the Walgreens app (which I couldn't get to work myself), or the Printicular app. After trying to use the Walgreens app over and over, I used the Printicular app and in one shot, had my photos uploaded and ready to pick up in an hour. And they aren't super expensive, either, at about $0.39 per print. And they look great!

The rest of the supplies you should just have around the house (besides the clothespins, which I picked up at Jo-Anns for relatively cheap). Now, for the steps!
  1. Decide where you want to place your photos, and pound your first nail in the wall. Use a level to place the second as far away as you want it, but don't pound it in all the way.
  2. Tie a knot in your yarn around the first nail, and extend it to the other nail and knot the other end, as well. 
  3. Pound in your nails the rest of the way.
  4. With your photos and your clothespins, pin as many of your photos on the yarn as you want.
  5. Repeat if you want to do a second side!
See, I told you it was easy! Let me know if you try it out and what happens - I would love to see!
