If you follow my blog regularly, you’ve had a chance to read about me taking photos at my sons firefighter training particle and of course I had several photos I wanted to print so that’s how the Instagram Photo Wall came to be.
I no longer print photos at home it’s much more cost effective to take them to a place now days, so I searched online for a place that makes Instagram prints and into the Jeep I hopped. If given he choice I pick black and white photos every time so I was happy to see I didn’t need to convert the photos before I took them to the print shop it could be done within the program, and they also could be resized into Instagram prints all at the same time. For under $10 I had 50 Instagram size firefighter training photos to display.
If you look closely I used tiny close pins to hang the photos and once again I got at them with the copper spray paint. The frame was a $1 garage sale purchase I painted the canvas with chalkboard spray paint. I had intended to learn chalkboard lettering and this would be my practice place but another brilliant idea came to me instead.
I purchased tiny eye screws and craft wire to attach to the frame. I found 6.5” between each wire row is perfect for Instagram size prints. I love the idea of swapping out the photos at any time and I’m sure I’ll take advantage of it. I have the piece in my office so I can look at it from my desk while I work, and I spend a lot of time in the office.

Could you explain more about Instagram prints please?! I guess I am out of the loop about this. Thanks!
Becky do you have an Instagram account? It’s a social media platform where square photos are published. They print off in a 4X4 size.
Thanks for responding, Dawn. Yes, I have an Instagram account, but I didn’t realize that you could print your pictures in an Instagram format. I will definitely look into it though. Thanks again.
Becky yes you can and it’s so fun:)
I love the photos Dawn! I was immediately drawn to the beautiful cedar chest. I have my Mothers that I believe is just like yours. It is a Lane and most were made in 1947. My parents had the whole set and it was beautiful. The inside is green and some have a hidden drawer. There are 2 for sale here in an antique shop!!
Jeanie this one is my moms too and it also has green on the inside with hidden drawers. It looks like we have the same piece:)
