Description:

Are you an instagram-er? Are you proud of your gallery? Well, why not show it off!?

For this swap you'll use your square shots to decorate an envelope for your partner. You must use AT LEAST THREE of your photos for your piece of art. You may (and should!) include any other media you'd like including paint, markers, colored pencils, collage, washi tape, etc to decorate as well.

Feel free to get started now and just send it out once partners are assigned.

But, Bizzitybam, How do I print out my instagram photos?

You have a few options:

Instaport Allows you to download all of your instagram photos to your computer. It's simple, free and fairly quick depending on how large your gallery is. I recommend this.

Printstagram is a service that prints Instagram photos for you (and they'll do fun things with them too!). Of course, this is a service you'll have to pay for and you will have to have the prints sent to you, which may take some time.

And of course, there are certainly other options online. Feel free to comment and link below if you know of any good options. I've found a handful of tutorials online on how to print images.

Swap Specs

  • 1 partner

  • Envelope may be no smaller than 4"x5"

  • Create a fun piece of mail art using at least 3 of your instagram prints and any other crafty techniques you'd like.

  • Create something you'd like to receive. Your prints don't need to be superfine, but be sure that it's not extremely pixelated or blurry. If your printer is running out of ink, find another option.

  • Write a quick note about the pictures you selected and your envelope's theme (if you had one) and slip it into the envelope. Include your instagram username if you want to.

  • You may include any other flat items inside the envelope if you'd like, but they are not required.

You must have a rating of at least 4.93.

Please do not sign up if you don't feel you can complete this swap. I truly hope I do not have to, but I will angel if someone does flake. Feel free to contact me and let me know if your partner has not fulfilled the task.

I'll be glad to create a USA only version if there is interest.
