How to display Instagram photos
For all of you Instagram lovers out there, I know you have a gazillion beautiful photos sitting in your phone!
Guess what? It’s time to print them out and display them!
First thing you’ll need to do is print out your Instagram photos.
I printed them in 2.5″ on card-stock paper. I could have printed them on photo paper, but I opted for card-stock because it’s thicker.
Once printed, my sweet little ladies (Gabrielle & Emanuelle), cut them out for me. Yay for help! :)
Now it’s time to start working on the Instagram photo stands!
Disclosure: I was provided product by BEHR to write this post but the thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
How to make photo stands
Supplies:
- Piece of scrap wood. (My piece was ½″ high x 1 ¼″ wide and about 2′ long.)
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Pencil
- Sanding block
- Paint (I used BEHR MARQUEE Satin Enamel in Perpetual Purple MQ5-42.)
- Paint brush
Tools:
- Table saw
- Jig saw or handsaw
Step 1: We started off by using the table saw to make a 5/16″ groove about 9/16″ from the edge of the piece of wood, just so that the groove wasn’t quite in the center of the piece.
Step 2: Next, we made a 1″ markings on the piece of wood, using a ruler and pencil.
Step 3: We used a jig saw to cut the pieces. We made 15.
Step 4: Next, time to use a sanding block to make each piece nice and smooth.
Step 5: My favorite part, time to paint!
You’ll notice that I used Exterior paint. Why? Simply because that’s what I had on hand.
The color I used was BEHR MARQUEE Perpetual Purple (MQ5-42) in Satin Enamel. The color is PERFECT for my living room, where I’ll be displaying my Instagram photos.
Step 6: Once the photo stands were dry, I inserted my Instagram photos, and placed them in my mailbox cubbies.

Such a fun way to finally display those beautiful photos sitting in our phones!

You can also display your Instagram photos in a gallery wall too!
P.S. I have also a fun how to make cheap wood frames, if ever you’d rather display your photos in a bigger format.

I love this! So unique and seems relatively easy! BEAUTIFUL!
What a fun idea! These would also be great for place cards at a party!
This looks like such a fun project to do with my fiancé! And it’s just gorgeous :) Good work! #ShareItLinkParty
This project is soooo gorgeous!! It’s total eye candy for me, and I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out where I can fit one in my own home :)
First of all, this is such a clever idea and a fun way to display photos! I never would have thought to use purple but this color is so rich and pretty and looks great with every image you have displayed!
Love what you have done here ! I’m always looking for new ways to display photos, this is great as it’s easy to update. I like the idea of being able to rotate my photos. We probably take more photos than we have ever done but look at less photos as we don’t print them off like we used to. Cheers !
This is such a fun idea and your tutorial is great!! Thanks so much for sharing with us at the Bewitchin’ Block Party; I’ll be featuring you this week! I hope you can join us again today!!
What a cute idea!! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
Really cute! Great idea. :)
