APARTMENT DIY: INSTAGRAM FRIDGE MAGNETS

Instagram, VSOCAM, Pinterest, Snapchat, IPhone, Facebook, Twitter.... photos on-the-go are in. I mean really, what better way to keep our friends & family & coworkers & crushes up with our really photogenic lives??
As you know, I'm trying to make this new (to me) 450 square foot box into my home. Step one: Plaster the space with my favorite images. When I was in college, I used to tape huge (I mean huge.. maybe, 2ftx3ft?) photos of my friends & family on my dorm room wall. Over the years, however, I've developed a taste for tinier things & better adhesives. & lucky for me, it's at that crossroad you'll find Instagram Fridge Magnets.
You need:
  • Printic App (Free)
  • Stick-on Magnet Sheet
  • Pen
  • Scissors
I read on Delightfully Tacky about a DIY just like this. There's this free app called Printic. Guys, its so cool! Through the app you can log right into your Instagram, Facebook & Mobile galleries & order as many prints as you want... directly from your phone! There's several options & I chose the "Prints." Ordered just about 30 photos for under $15! Best of all, they were mailed to me in just three days.
Next I bought a sheet of sticky magnets from Michael's. (HINT - they have tons & tons of coupons online. Just check on it before you go up & they'll scan it right from your phone.) 

Then, you guessed it: trace, cut, stick, trim. 
Before you know it, your apartment is going to look like home ... or at least one little corner J
Happy DIY-ing!

  1. I love that these are DIY. I ordered some from Shutterfly awhile ago, but this is definitely a less expensive way to go.
