DIY Instant Photo Accent Wall

I had some fun with this quick and easy DIY project today.

I recently received one of these Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera‘s as a gift and I have since been documenting some of my favorite momentsĀ of our family.

My camera-shy 2 year-old loves it and actually poses for the pictures because she is so excited to see them print out and watch them develop.

We had this blank white wall in our kitchen. At one point, it housed a small array of framed pictures and art and then around Thanksgiving-time it became our wall for seasonal decorations that changed with the seasons right up to Valentine’s Day. I wasn’t particularly keen on continuing the seasonal decorations by filling my wall with green shamrocks or multi-colored Easter eggs. So I decided to use my new gift to create a collection of family photos to fill the space.

It was easy enough to do. It took about 5 minutes (after I snapped and collected all of the photos). This is the camera I used:

I needed 2 packs of film for this project. Each pack comes with enough for 10 photos and my project used 16.

I had some cute wooden push-pins that I thought about using to hang the photos, but I decided I’d rather keep the simple, straight lines of the photo grid instead. So I adhered the photos to the wall with good old Scotch tape. I lined them up as straight as I could (without using a ruler) and the tape allowed me to continue to adjust if one of the pictures looked crooked.

The final product: A DIY Instant Photo Accent Wall with some sweet family moments!
