I’ll admit I was a little late to the Instagram game. I just joined a few months ago and am glad I did, as I think Facebook can be weird with sharing photos…you don’t always see what everyone shares, but on Instagram you can see all the photos they post!
I also love how many of the photos on Instagram are spur of the moment times when something cute/funny/awesome happens and you only have your phone nearby to capture it. Unfortunately, many of those photos often go unprinted or formally framed. But it doesn’t have to be that way!
Thanks to Printstagram from Social Print Sudio, you can print your Instagram photos in a variety of formats!
We Print Your Instagram Photos
Instagram is the lovable photo-sharing app. We make your photos physical, with wonderful products that match the quality and magic of the app itself.
Created by Instagramers, we work out of California or wherever else we find ourselves.
Printstagram is still in its early phase, with updates and new products rolling out frequently, we are having fun while fulfilling your Instagram fantasies.
I had a difficult time choosing which products to try, but I ultimately decided on two: The tiny books and square prints.
These tiny books are adorable!
The Tinybook needs little introduction, is there any cuter way to show off your pics than this? The photo quality is surprisingly great, and Tinybooks even magnet together or to your fridge. Each book has 24 photos and you get 3 books with each order. If you choose 24 Instagram photos, you’ll get 3 of the same book, choose 72 images for 3 unique books.
Since I didn’t have enough photos on my Instagram to get 3 separate books, I chose to get 3 of the same book and give two of them to family members. What a great little gift to a grandparent! They are also magnetized to keep them closed that allows them to be displayed on the refrigerator.
I also chose the square prints.
Our Square Prints are the perfect way to enjoy and share your Instagram photos. With two size options you can’t go wrong! We simply cannot decide which ones we like more, cute little Mini Squares, or bold full sized prints. Printed on quality paper with a matte finish, our squares have just the right amount of weight to them.
The square photos come in two sizes. I opted for the larger size, as I thought they would be perfect to finally complete a project on my to-do list…putting something on the walls next to our window in the living room! We already have art on one wall, a clock on another and display boxes on another, so we’ve been wanting to put up some sort of framed photo(s).
I selected 24 4×4 squares and they arrived in a neat little package.
When we were in WDW, we made a quick trip to IKEA (quick = 2 hours) and purchased 2 large frames.
All I used for the project in addition to the photos and frames was a glue stick and a pencil. I included tape in the photo, but I never used it.
The frames were already matted, so I picked out 9 squares for each photo, which would fit perfectly in the non-matted area. I lined them up how I was going to place them before actually glueing them in.
Using a pencil, I outlined where I would need to place the photos.
Then, I glued each photo onto the paper.
I put a bunch of glue on the outer square and then pressed the matting board down on top, making sure just the photos were visible and not any of the paper in the background.
I repeated the process with the other frame. I love them!
Those walls have been empty for almost 4 years and just after a few minutes of them being up there, I told Brett that it felt cozier in the room. Trent’s a fan too!
