This post was created in partnership with Snapfish. All opinions are my own.

So, as you may or may not know, the hubs and I love to travel! I’ve shared a few of our adventures here on the blog such as St. Maarten, Newfoundland, Bermuda, Rome, Florence, Venice , etc. I recently decided that it would be fun to do a travel-themed gallery wall –- using pictures from our travels along with other pieces that would compliment it.

I jumped on to Snapfish to scope things out.  Did you know they have a brand new site with a designated Snapfish Home Decor section?  So, I started experimenting with some of my pictures!  I think it’s safe to say that is the hardest part — finding the right pictures and seeing if they’ll fit into the sizes you’re looking for.

I loved that I could pick up where I left off on any of my devices. Win-win!

What a great way to display your travel experiences! A travel-themed gallery wall... with a DIY Instagram Photo Frame tutorial too! www.livelaughrowe.comAnywho, I decided on a few fabulous pieces:  a large matted picture, a tabletop frame (which can also be hung), a square canvas (designed on Snapfish) and a dozen or so of the 4×4 prints (using pictures from my Instagram account). I wasn’t certain how I going to use the 4×4 prints.  However, I did know that I wanted to make some sort of instagram photo frame.

Making my own frames/clipboards is something I love to do, so it only made sense to make another version using a few of my favorite things.  I honestly couldn’t be more thrilled with how it turned out.  Let’s take a quick look at how you can whip one of these up too!

A super fun way to display your instagram pictures! Make a fun (and easy) DIY Instagram Photo Frame. www.livelaughrowe.comSupplies for DIY Instagram Photo Frame:
Plywood cut to 12×14
Polyurethane
Rags or Brush, to apply polyurethane
Tim Holtz Metal Hinge Clips
Screws
Screwdriver
4×4 prints
Sawtooth Hanger

My board was cut and designed to fit six 4×4 prints, so we cut it to be a 12×14 in size. Feel free to customize your board to meet your needs. Once your board is cut, you’re ready to go!

Tutorial for DIY Instagram Photo Frame. www.livelaughrowe.comDIY Instagram Frame Tutorial

Step One: Poly or Stain the board.
Be sure board has been sanded around the edges and on each side, if necessary. You could easily stain your board; however, I decided to keep the wood more of a raw, natural color and applied a couple coats of polyurethane.

Step Two: Clip Placement.
Decide where you’ll be placing your pictures and clips. Horizontally or vertically? I decided to place mine with the board horizontally, with three pictures across in two rows.

Step Three: Drill Holes.

Step Four: Attach Clips and Sawtooth Hanger.
I used flat phillips screws (6 x 1/2) to attach the clips. We then attached a sawtooth hanger on the back to mount on the wall. Here’s a side view.  I love the raw wood look.  What do you think?

    I love the clip board. I have a picture frame with jute twine and clips. My youngest son changes out pictures and artwork on it. I would love the Snapfish to finally do something with a large blank wall that I have. I was thinking of doing like a family tree on a large scale with picture frames hanging from the branches.

    I would love to purchase the framed matt print and add it to our family gallery wall. I have a picture of my two kids together in mind that would be perfect! I love your gallery wall and how colourful it is!

    LOOOOOOOOOVE this!! I have incorporated various photos from travels onto canvases, etc. It’s the most common art in our home. I was thinking to do a larger gallery wall, though, more mixed media like you’ve done. Fabulous!!

      Thanks Amy! You should do one for yourself. 🙂 It’s easy…you just need to start with finding one image to build on. It’s a fun project to take on. HUGS.

    Love this idea! It turned out fantastic! I have a blank wall at home that I’d like to make a travel wall. Did you make the canvas that says “our happy place”? I really want one!

      Hi Steph! Thanks so much for your kind words. I am in love with wall myself. That canvas was made on Shutterfly’s new site 🙂 Graphics and all. xo

      07/29/2015 at 8:14 am

      Awesome! Can you give me more details on how you made it? Is the graphic yours or was it available on the site?

    • Kelly Rowe says

      07/29/2015 at 3:38 pm

      The graphic/clipart was from their site, I think it was under travel… not sure I can give you any more details, you might just jump on their website and do a little exploring 🙂

    really great instructions and beautiful dislplay – i’m curious, did you make/purchase the vintage looking clip stand that is sitting on top of the books in the full display photos – I love it. It would be awesome if you could make those yourself!

      Hi Karuna! Thanks so much for loving on my project. I purchased that clip stand in a little country store in Illinois. I would have to agree with you, it would make an awesome DIY. Hmmmm, now you’ve got m thinking 😉
