3 Unique Ways to Decorate Your Apartment with Your Favorite Instagram Shots

Instagram is everyone’s preferred avenue for sharing photos across the Internet. But, have you ever considered how you might be able to pull your favorite photos of your family and friends and place them here, in the real world? There are many unique ways to print and enjoy your Instagram shots around your apartment. Here are just three ideas for decorating your space with your favorite Instagram images.

Hang Them on Your Walls.

Whether you get them printed professionally or take matters into your own hands with a DIY photo garland, there are many ways to decorate your apartment walls with your favorite Instagram shots. Order a professional product through websites like CanvasPop, which will print your Instagram photos on an affordable and high-quality 20” by 20” canvas. If you’re interested in a hands-on activity, gather some twine, small clips, and the printed images you want to display. Using the clips, attach the photos to the twine, and hang vertically across a wall when complete.

Place Them on Magnets, Pillows, and More.

Just like you can order a canvas print of your Instagram images, you can also place orders with other sites and receive items like coffee mugs, magnets, pillows, and stickers with your image on them, too. Social Print Studio, for example, can print your images on ornaments, calendars, and more. They can even arrange your images into mosaics. If you’re in the market for a customized throw pillow, zipper pouch, coin purse, or tote bag, try Stitcha. They’ll print your images on items made of either linen-cotton canvas or woven cotton.

Add Them to Drink Coasters.

It’s surprisingly easy to add your Instagram images to drink coasters. All you need are ceramic tiles, Mod Podge, clear lacquer, and printed images. Paint a coat of Mod Podge on the ceramic tile. Lay the image flat on the tile and allow it to adhere. Let dry for about an hour. Then, add another layer of Mod Podge on top of the photo. Allow drying completely.

Finally, add three layers of clear lacquer. Keep in mind that this project will take a few days to complete since each layer of lacquer will require three hours of drying time. But, once finished, you’ll be able to use the coasters at your next dinner party!
