I whipped this project up for our home last week. We have moving on the brain, so all of the home decor projects I'm taking on this summer will be super easy to transport to a new space! I think summer is a great time for home decor project, don't you?
1. Supplies Needed: Instagram photos (I used 4x4 prints provided by PostalPix a great app for printing your instagrams and having them sent right to your doorstep!), a canvas (I used a 12x12 canvas, perfect fit for 9 4x4 photos!), Matte Mod Podge
and a paint brush. 2. Arrange your photos. Experiment with placement until you're happy! 3. Adhere the photos to your canvas with Mod Podge. I like to start in the corners and work my way in. 4. Seal with an extra coat of Mod Podge if you like. Let it dry completely and display it in your home!
There you have it! Quick, easy and a nice option for renters (and those planning to move) compared to this project. I may even do a much.much.much larger version before the summer has ended! Hope you are having a great week! We're enjoying our last day in Hawaii now (I'm squeezing in this blog as Jeremy naps!) It's been incredible.... xoxo. Elsie




I still can't use insagram, so I might modify this by printing pictures from my computer, cutting them accordingly, and making a canvas collage! I've been re-vamping my boyfriend's apartment, and this would work perfectly. Enjoy Hawaii!

(Just wanted to add that what you did would look great on a lid of a keepsake box as well or as a laminated placemat! Gah, now you've got me thinking in craft mode...)

I just ordered a round of 4x4 instagram pictures through postal pix from my first year of college and I've been wondering what to do with them! This is such a fun way to display them! Love it! <3

Can you help me? I don't have iphone but I would love to print 4x4 or even 6x6 photos. Do you know of any websites that can print these and ship?
Thanks :)

Cool on a bigger canvas. We did a similar project on 4x4 canvases a couple weeks ago! http://www.whimseybox.com/portfolio/instagram-mini-canvases

It's a great idea! Too bad that you took it from your friend Colby Kern at www.colbykern.com. He just shared this a few days ago. Maybe you two are just on the same brain wave. Not likely though...shame.

I've seen this before, oh wait: http://www.colbykern.com/2012/05/instagram-canvas-diy-project.html interesting that you both live in the same town and promote each other.
