Instagram Photo Frame

0 · Aug 22, 2013 · 4 Comments

Hey Whipperberry fans, it's Jenn from My Fabuless Life and today I'm going to show you a super simple way to actually take those beautiful life moments sitting in your Instagram feed and put them to good use!
 
I get some grief about what an Instagram addict I am, buuutttt…this is why!  It's such an easy way to capture those day to day moments, when you wouldn't normally be carrying your camera or you just don't want to mess with getting it out.  Basically, for me, Instagram is a photo journal, and I don't have to mess with editing all of those pictures at once, because I've already done it, easily, before the pictures are posted, which also makes them perfect for displaying.  This is one of the ways I decided to display mine and it's super easy.
 
 
I picked up a large frame at a local home decor store (it was on crazy clearance because it was missing the glass) and spray painted it with Krylon's Gold (I also love Valspar's gold spray paint).  Then, I actually picked up the "chicken wire" from the trash pile at a house being built in my neighborhood–it's the wire mesh they put under stucco.  I'm pretty sure my neighbors think I'm nuts, because I can be seen on a regular basis pushing a stroller and carrying handfuls of scrap wood, tree branches, and other treasures.  Am I embarrassed about it?  A little (my husband a lot), but I can suck up a lot of pride for free stuff ; ).  Anyway, if you don't have a local construction site to borrow from, I think you can buy chicken wire at any local farm supply.  And it probably goes without saying, but don't go stealing the stuff.  I pulled this out of a pile that was clearly trash–no one wants to see you on an episode of Cops.  Now that the legal stuff is out of the way back to our regularly scheduled project:  Lay the mesh over the back of the frame.  Don't cut it down to size yet!  It's much easier if you do it after it's attached.  
 
With a staple gun, just staple the mesh on around the back of the frame.  If you don't have a staple gun (it's totally worth the $10 purchase) you can use brass thumb tacks and some hot glue.  Put some glue on the back of the tack and then press it into the frame to hold the mesh (the glue will keep the tack from popping out).  Then go around and cut all of the excess off with some wire cutters.  BE CAREFUL!  This stuff is sharp!  And that's about it.  Time for hanging.
 
 
I hung my pictures with some embellished paper clips, and some Basic Grey cards I scored at SNAP!.    
 
 
Then to add a little more variety and color, I added some free Project Life-sized printables I found here & here, and a miniature version of one of my own prints.
 
 
 
I know Instagram printing can be pretty pricey, so as a bonus, I've created a few templates and a tutorial on how to print your own at home, or wherever you normally have your photos printed.  You can find the free downloads and tutorial over at My Fabuless Life.

    This is so smart! I have a huge $1 frame from a yard sale that would look perfect in our entry way like this!

Not all holiday gifts need to be ooey gooey sweet. Savory holiday gifts are just as lovely, sometimes even more so. I personally have been off sugar for 3 months now and I’m really nervous for the holiday season to arrive. Having the house fill up with sweets is NOT what I’m wishing for this Christmas. I would LOVE to get one of these Ball® Sharing Jar soup mixes as a gift. Not only are they soothing to the soul, but they are also good for you as well. - WhipperBerry @ballcanning #soupinajar #printabletags #souprecipe

Soup Mix Sharing Jars 

This year, I’m working on all kinds of fun gifts for the Holidays that will look spectacular gifted inside of a jar. One of my favorites is the White Chocolate Ginger Scone Mix in a jar. It’s really easy to put together a whole bunch of these gifts and really not expensive at all. It’s always a bonus to save a little money during the holidays. @ballcanning #giftsinajar #neighborgifts #teachergifts #sconeinajar

White Chocolate Ginger Scone Mix In A Jar 

As much as we hate to admit it, cold and flu season is on its way. There is nothing more miserable than one of those lousy winter colds. What’s almost just as bad is watching someone you care for dealing with a cold or, Heaven forbid, the flu! I’m always looking for ways to help cheer them up and let them know that we love them and hope for their better health. That’s when I came up with this idea for a Cold and Flu Rescue Kit to share with those loved ones that are suffering. • WhipperBerry

Cold and Flu Rescue Kit

Not to knock commercially prepared applesauce, but when you have the opportunity to enjoy homemade applesauce, you will know the difference. It’s sweet and tangy with the perfect texture. Not to mention the fact that it harmonizes well with many different notes on your palette AND, it’s super easy to make! #applesauce #applesaucerecipe #homemadeapplesauce
