A friend had posted about how she printed a poster of her instagrams on a site called Prinstagram. This fun little site allows you to select your instagrams and print them in a variety of fashions - in a poster collage, in a mini book, or as simple prints. About the same time I saw this project on pinterest:
I decided it was time to take a crack at this fun little project and so I went about ordering my 24 pictures on prinstagr.am and keeping an eye out for a frame of the right size.
A few days later, I was at Michael's craft store getting supplies for a different craft project and decided to look at their "as-is" bin, where I happened upon this glorious piece of art:
The glass had been broken in this ready to hang framed "art" from Michael's so the piece was $10. It was the right size, the right weight, and the right price. The guy at Michael's seemed really confused when I told him I was going to throw away that "beautiful" sunset. I guess I have a different idea of art.
So once the frame was mine, I took my favorite red spray paint to the frame, doing even thin coats.
I then ripped the back off the frame, leaving just the frame itself and went about making my instgram display frame. While at Michael's, I grabbed these mini clothespins, which were perfect for my project. I picked out just the yellow and blue ones to go with my decor. I'll use the other ones some other time, I'm sure.
I took some twine and made my clotheslines for my pictures to hang on their clothespins.
And now I have a nice little display of the fun people and places from the past year:
In pinning and projects,
