7 creative hacks to show off your instax prints at home

1. Turn your instant photos into photo magnets

Let’s kick things off with a classic: magnets. Don’t worry, we don’t mean those old holiday souvenir fridge magnets. This idea is super easy and it means you can display your snaps proudly on any magnetic surface.

How to create it

• Grab some small adhesive magnets from your local craft shop or order them online.
• Stick the magnets onto the back of your instax print using the double-sided adhesive provided.
• Arrange them on any magnetic surface you have available — bed frame, mini fridge, or whiteboard.
• If you can’t find a magnetised surface around and fancy a bit of DIY, you can buy magnetic paint for them to go straight onto your walls, your shelves, or your wardrobe.

If you don’t fancy taking the DIY route, don’t forget that you can also create and buy photo magnets for instax WIDE and instax mini.

2. Use instax photo frames

There are plenty of instax-sized photo frames available in loads of different styles to fit your aesthetic — from black and white minimalist to rustic cottage-core. 

You can either buy 3-inch instax photo frames for individual framing, or a larger frame to hold a collage of instax prints. Maybe you have one particular image that you’d like to have standing alone. Or maybe you’d rather have a collection featuring you and your bestie on a trip. Either way, there’s an instax photo frame to suit.

We also have  acrylic photo blocks. These lightweight acrylic frames can hold up to two instax mini photos — a chic, simplistic way to showcase your instax memories.

Whether you go for a plain frame for you to decorate yourself with paint, stickers, or gems or a pre-designed colourful frame, they’re the ideal addition to bedside tables, desks, or shelves — all while protecting your instax photo print.

4. Make an instax photo garland

By making your own photo garland, you can add a bit of charm and personality to your space with the help of a few instax prints.

How to create it:

• Start with your material of choice. Fairy lights, a macrame holder, twine, string, bunting — you know the drill.
• Grab some coloured paper clips or mini wooden washing pegs.
• Attach your clips or pegs to your material.
• Add your chosen instax photos to the material using the clips and pegs.
• Hang the garland on your wall, across a window, or draped over your bed — wherever you want! 

Instead of gathering all the materials yourself, our instax mini 12 Accessory Kit comes with everything you need to get snapping with your instax — including a 10-pack of photo cards, matching pegs, and hanging twine to create your photo garland.

The beauty of this instax DIY project is that it’s so easy to do and customisable. You can add more hanging accessories if you wish like beads, ribbons, and any other decorations to make it uniquely yours. 

5. Go traditional with an instax photo album

Sometimes you might just want to keep things classic. This calls for the return of a traditional favourite — the photo album.

The truth is, albums keep your photos safe and organised. They’re great for flipping through when you want to reminisce about good times. Plus, they’ll look like a quirky piece of deco lying around your room.

Whether you want to buy an instax photo album that’s pre-designed in your favourite colour and finish or you’d rather go the DIY route, you’ll be glad to know that there are photo albums for instax prints out there. No photo is too small for an album — and this goes for our adorable instax prints.

Top tip: Look for instant print photo albums that allow you to add notes or captions next to them. You could even add ticket stubs, receipts, gems, or flower cuttings from days out and add them next to your photos.

6. Put together an instax wall collage

Why not get your pals together and create a top-to-bottom instax wall collage? Find a blank space on your wall and fill it up with your instax memories all in one place. It’s bold, it’s creative, and it makes a statement as soon as anyone walks through the door. A boring feature wall? We don’t know her.

Our best tip would be to plan your layout on the floor before you start sticking anything to the wall. You can organise your instax prints in any format you like — by colour, by theme, by people, or in chronological order. 

Next, use wall-safe washi tape, glue dots, command strips, or throw it back to hack number one with magnetic paint and arrange them onto the wall. Keep the clean-cut minimalist look or add other elements like quotes, stickers, or small decorations to fit in with your existing aesthetic.
