Instagram has over 5 million users and was named Apple’s App of the Year for 2011, and it’s easy to see why. Your iPhone photos can easily be transformed into mini works of art and shared to your friends. As GeekMom Laura mentioned earlier this month, there is a lot you can do after creating your photos. With the online printing service Stickygram, those photos can then be turned into magnets – or in my case, a valentine.
Stickygram magnets come in sets of nine. Inspired by a post on the Stickygram blog, I convinced my daughter to pose for nine photos, which is no easy feat for a three year old. Once I explained that we were making a valentine for Daddy, though, she was happy to assist. After you log in to the Stickygram web site and grant access to your Instagram account, the magnets can be made in a manner of seconds. Good thing, too, because I was nervous that my husband might see the pictures in my feed before I could remove them!
This is the magnetic valentine headed our way soon.
Shipping is free, but can take up to 12 days, so if you’re going to make one for your loved ones, I recommend ordering as soon as you can. You can add even more fun to your set – different settings or backgrounds for the photos, poses of everyone in your family, or even a different phrase can all make your one-of-a-kind valentine.
