TPIB: Turn your Instagram pics into Photobooth bookmarks

You can take any 4 Instagram pictures (or Hipstamatic pictures) and turn them into a bookmark craft with your teens.  Technically, you can do it with any photos as long as you get the measurements right – but Instagram/Hipstamatic are kind enough to have frames built in. 

Think of the things you can do here!

TAB/TAG bookmarks
Teen volunteers in action
Program bookmarks (which you can also import into publicity posters)
Graduation gifts
Mother’s/Father’s Day Gifts
BFF gifts
“Get Caught Reading” bookmarks
You get the idea.

Put some cool facts on the back and you have a great publicity piece.

So, let’s get started . . .

Make sure you have the pictures you want downloaded.

Open your Microsoft Publisher program and import your 4 pictures.

Make sure they are all the same size by right clicking on each picture.  Choose “format picture” and click on the size tab.  You can put 4 pictures at 2.50 and they will fit on a regular 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.  Make sure you keep your aspect ratio locked.

There are some cool Photobooth apps that will turn your smart phone into a photobooth.  But this is a great way to turn all your random pics the same type of piece that you can do something with.
