What to do with Instagram pictures ...




I love Instagram. Who doesn't? Now that I have 500+ pictures I figure it's time to start thinking about what I'm going to do with all of them. New products are popping up everyday. Here are just a few of my favorite. Click the captions to get more info.

Easy gift idea: Books

I put together a baby shower gift the other day - a collection of some of my favorite books.
I used a cardboard container from Ikea (they're right by the door on your way out), spray painted it, added some tissue and the books and it turned out kind a fun - and it wasn't very hard or time consuming to put together.

DIY: Paint Chip Art





This is one of those easy to do, self explanatory, inexpensive projects that doesn't take a lot of time. Here's what you need:

* Frame
* Paper
* Paint Chips
* Hole Punch
* Glue
* Yardstick
* Level

My frame came from Ikea, and I used the back of the paper that came in the frame for my background. You could use any color or size - I just used what I had.

First, punch out the circles from your paint chips. I used an assortment of colors I already had.



I took the easy route and used a yardstick and level to line up my dots. They aren't perfect, but I don't think you can really tell once they all get on.



Just go line by line until your dots fill the entire paper. I used a glue stick - but some of the dots have started to fall - so I'd recommend a stronger double sided tape or glue.


Once they're all on, stick it in your frame - and it instantly adds color to the room!
