You know how I get down with Instagram. It’s my favorite way to do nothing. My favorite way to pretend I’m doing something very important on my phone, when in actuality I’m studying a recently posted photo of shoes. Or ogling a beautiful photo of pie. I’m sort of obsessed with today’s project because I’m bringing Instagram off the screen and into your craftroom. With this easy project, you can print out your favorite photos pack up your favorite Instagram photos and package them up in this cute Instagram box. It makes for a great keepsake gift for a fellow Instagram lover. Let me show you how it’s done.

  1. I was going to post something similar to the prior post about that cool dude, but Lindsay said it perfectly. Oh and one other thing that jumped out at me…… only YOU would have scissors with gold handles!

  2. That’s genius! Must pin it, so I don’t forget it, and I’m planning on doing this project for my friend’s birthday.
    Thank you ♥
