Instagram wall!!

Hello,

Finally,the Instagram wall is complete! I had a few issues when recording the voice over and I founds out that I'm not very good at talking to myself. But I still did it, I promise I'll improve next time but in the mean time here is how I made the wall!

First I saved some Instagram pictures to my computer. 

Inatagram won't let you do it by just right clicking and save as. So what I did was right click, then click inspect element. 

A link to the picture will appear and then all you have to do is click the link and save the picture to your computer. 

 

I went out the next day to print them out on glossy photo paper. There are a lot of alternatives like Polaroid printers for this but I think that there are websites that you can print the on and have them sent to you. My local photo printing place had square photo printing available so I just went there. 

First I just used a few pictures to map out the placement of the pictures and find out how many I will use. I chose to keep about an inch gap between each picture as I didn't like the look of them all stuck together but this is just a personal preference. 

I did one row and one column roughly then I used a piece of tape to guide the placement of my photos. 

I used 2 pieces of blu-tack on each photo, one on the top middle and one on the bottom middle. 

Then I started to put the photos up using the tape as a guideline so everything is neat. As for the spacing I just eye balled everything as a little error won`t show up much. In total I did 5 rows and 12 columns.

I did kind of arrange my photos to be a bit relevant to the ones beside whether it be by color or by whats in the photo. 

I really like the outcome of the wall and I think that it is a great way of bringing your room to life. It is totally customize-able and that's what I like about this project. It actually tells a lot about a person and it is almost like a story. Another great perk is that it is unisex so anyone can do this to be honest.

Instagram wall : project update

Hello,

I just got the photos back from the store and they look great, I found out that there're not a hundred percent square but they look square enough. I've also decided to use blu tack to stick it to my wall so I can reuse the pictures if I stop get tired of it. Also so I can swap out the photos if I want to. I'm not actually sure if it is going to stick well but I'm just going to hope for the best. 

I'm going to be away in a beach house for three days next week and I'm thinking of vlogging  it. It's really beautiful they're and just a nice little getaway. I'm not necessarily going to be unplugged but I'll have slow internet so it'll be a nice in-between state where I can not miss out on important things and relax.

I think I'll be doing the wall later today or tomorrow. I want to get it done before I leave so I'm trying to work it into my schedule,but I'll really hoping it will work so wish me luck and have a great day.

Instagram Wall

Hello,

      Recently I`ve been going round Pinterest an basically the internet and I've seen so many of these wall arts where many square photos have been hung up, to be more specific they're Instagram walls. 

So since I have a very naked wall beside my bed I`ve been thinking about making one my own. However I`ve seen so many variations of it that I can't really decide which one I want to make. There are these ones where you hang up some twine and glue on clothes pegs and clip the photos on. 

Some are just pinned to a cork board, some are glued on to a frame and some are just glued to the wall.

      

The type of photos I`m using are mainly pictures with memories of me and my friends and some with just beautiful scenery and basically nice pictures with things I love.

       I think that it is a great idea for not only wall art but just a photo book that you can see everyday and can remember all the great times you had and the things you love.
