Oops I kinda forgot to write the instructions down for this at first. Forgive me, haha. This DIY is so simple the pictures kind of speak for themselves! You only need a few supplies to create these Instagram magnets. I either had all of these supplies or found them at Michaels, you should be able to buy everything from your local craft/art store.
Supplies:
Magnet sheet
Cardstock
Spray Adhesive
Scissors/Utility Knife
Rule
Printer
Instagram images
To make my sheet of instagram pictures I used the contact sheet function on Photoshop and sized all of the images to be 2x2", you could also just create the sheet yourself by re-sizing all of the squares to be 2x2" and then arranging them on an 8x10" sheet of paper. Another option for those non-instagram people would be to crop your own images into squares and then re-size them according to the instructions above.
You will want to print these out on card stock. Once your contact sheet is printed simple place the images on top of your magnet sheet to ensure correct placement. I had to cut off the bottom row to get my to fit correctly. You'll want to take the images and magnet sheet outside to use the spray adhesive, that stuff gets on everything! Spray the back of the cardstock and carefully smooth your images down on the non-magnetized side of the magnet sheet. Let this sit for a couple of minutes to ensure it's completely adhered.
Next you'll want to pull out your utility knife and ruler and cut away. I highly recommend using a cutting board or piece of cardboard to cut on, you don't want to scratch up your table, or floor, or dresser, or...whatever you craft on.
Once your little intstagram magnets are all cut out you can decorate your fridge in style. I'm loving the way this has personalized our kitchen space and I definitely think I will be making more of these in the future! I hope you enjoyed today's DIY, now go out and make yourself some.big kiss, bekuh
