Looking for an excuse to put your Instagram shots on display?

Here’s how to make hexagon frames for your Instagram pics, so you can showcase your masterpieces.

I’ve been meaning to back up my Instagram shots for a while now…

…this little project has helped me make a copy of our memories and got me reminiscing along the way.

I adore how you can make so many cool shapes with these.

Firstly…I backed up my Instagram shots using Instaport you sign up and then they zip all your shots together in one file for you to download. Awesome!

You can Google for other ways to back up your Instagram shots, but this was the easiest for me.

Here’s how to make them…

DIY Hexagon Frames for Instagram Shots

You will need:

4 x A4 100gsm paper

2 x A4 foam core sheets ( available at Officeworks)

Printer

12 Instagram or digital shots

Tomfo Free Hexagon Frame Template (click to download)

Stanley knife

Steel ruler

Spray adhesive

How to…

1. Chose 12 Instagram/shots you adore…

2. Print your shots to 50mm x 50mm square size (you should fit 6 on an A4 page easily), then trim to size.

3. Print your hexagon frames (2 x copies to make 12 frames)

4. Then attach the square shots with adhesive spray to the frames using the white squares as a guide.

5. Attach the finished frames and shots to the foam core with adhesive spray. Carefully smoothing with a soft, dry cloth once placed on the board.

6. Then, carefully using a steel ruler and scalpel cut the hexagon shapes out of the foam core.

7. Place in formations you like and adhere with double sided tape or the like.

Enjoy your own masterpieces…

OMG, I love it, you can make so many different shapes…

And the foam core makes it feel 3D.

I adore the green flowers with the frames…

Reminds me, I’ve been asking politey to get this peg board put up for ages…

Perhaps this will be their home…

I’m hoping to make some hanging vases to compliment this, so I’ll keep you updated…
