Displaying My Instagram Prints from Postal Pix

Today I am sharing a fun and easy project you can do to display your photos.



Yesterday I once again talked about my love for Instagram photos.  I recently found a free app called Postal Pix.  I downloaded it and within minutes transferred over my favorite Instagram prints and ordered them as 4x4 prints from Postal Pix.  The quality is great and I knew I wanted to find a way to display them in our home.  The most difficult thing was to decide which ones I wanted to display.

I had these canvases in my craft bin. They are slightly larger than 4x4 and I purchased them at Michaels many months ago from their $1 bin. They were originally made for kids and each of them have a pre-drawn design on them. However when you give them a couple of coats of paint...the design disappears. I painted them black using a cheap foam brush from Michaels.


Once the paint dried I just covered the canvas with a layer of Mod Podge using another foam brush, then centered the photo on the canvas and smoothed it down using a small piece of saran wrap... that way you don't get smudge marks on your photos.  Once that dried I gave it two more coats of the Mod Podge.



Once they were dried I hung them on an empty wall at the entrance of our hallway.  I love the way they turned out so much I did three more a few days later.  Here they all are displayed in our house -



1- My husband took this one of me.
2- Madison took these at the local farmer's market.  I made them into a collage.
3- This is a street in a place called Island Park near our house.
4- My husband took this one of Madison while peeking into her room. 
5- I took this of Madison on her first day of 7th grade.
6- My daughter Madison too this of a rose in our garden.

I cannot wait to Instagram some more and to order them from Postal Pix.  I am hooked on this fun project.

What do you think? Do you Instagram? What do you do with your photos?

Postal Pix = Best Instagram Prints Ever

One could say I am pretty obsessed with the Instagram app on my phone.  Some of the photos I've taken I really love and I wanted a way to print them out.  I found Postal Pix. 

A-mazing.

It's an app you download. It's free.


You select the photos from your IPhone you want and you can choose either 4x4 or 5x5 prints... and they are cheap!  I ordered a bunch of the 4x4 ones.  As soon as they arrived... I added more to my cart.... that is how awesome these are.

And.... then I figured out the most super fabulous way to display these great photos in my house.... and that post will be shared tomorrow... here is a sneak peak -

Go download Instagram and Postal Pix right.this.second.  You will not be disappointed.
