So, you carry your
phone around with you wherever you go, mainly as a means of communication but
to a large degree, you’ve got it ready for those special moments that need
capturing! Yes, we’re all little photographers in our own right, especially
when the likes of Instagram encourage us to snap away, and share our pics with
anyone willing to view them. Photography has become the ultimate phenomenon of
the 21st Century, and we thrive on the thrill we get when we’ve snapped the
most epic shot that could potentially attract followers in abundance, and
‘likes’ that could get us one step closer to being ‘Insta Famous.'
We can't wait to
document our lives. Some of our work stays hidden on our tech gadgets, usually
just taking up space, and others make their way to the web, for others to
admire. But, have we thought of documenting our lives for ourselves; where our
photos are showcased and displayed, for us to admire?
It’s all good and
well taking plenty of awesome pictures, but if we don’t get joy out of them,
too, then what is really the point? Think of all your incredible works of
photographic art that could be displayed all over your home, and could be seen
and admired by you and the people you love. After all, if we’re honest with
ourselves, the vast majority of our Instagram followers are random people; that
we’re trying to impress and inspire-but, for what?
So, I think you
can agree, that while it’s more than okay to have a rocking Instagram feed,
that's maintained on the daily, we should also do something constructive with
the amazing pictures we take. Read through our super useful list, to find out
how you can take your photos from cloud to canvas!
Print them Out, Of course
Printing them put,
is a good start, and there are many easy ways to do this. You could take the
traditional approach and have them printed at a photo printing store, or you
could invest in a personal desktop photo printer. Try going for one that links
to wi-fi and is compatible to any device-so that you can print photos from your smartphone or tablet.
You could also invest in a portable smartphone printer, that's small and easy
to carry around.
Once you have this
covered, frame your picture-perfect works of art and hang them up on your wall!
Print them Onto Canvas
If you want to go
the extra mile with your photos to have them look like professional art pieces,
print your photos onto canvas. Canvas printing has a way of enhancing even
the simplest of pictures, transforming it into a pure piece of art. The photo
you have chosen, to be printed, is stretched flat over a thick wooden frame,
which means it’s suitable for hanging without additional framing of the piece.
There are different ways of having your picture displayed onto the canvas; you
could either opt for a print on a single canvas, or, the photo can be split
between two canvasses, giving that extra creative feel.

Make a Book out of Your Printed Pics
Now, we don’t mean
a simple photo album, although you could do that too, if you pleased. But, we
have an even better idea. Why not print your photos onto matte paper, and have
it bound into a book? For example, if you’ve got plenty of wildlife photos, from
your African Safari, you could create your own wildlife photography book, which could lay on
the coffee table for you and your guests to flip through. It just makes it all
the more fascinating, when it’s all your own work! Genius idea, right?
Create Personalized Coasters Out of your Snaps
The goal here is
to have your perfect pics, on full display, for everyone to see. Personalized
coasters, which lay on the coffee table, and will undoubtedly be used and seen
by guests, will achieve just that! So, not only will your photos be seen,
they’ll be turned into useful items!

Transfer the Photo to Fabric and then get Creative!
If you decide to
transfer your photos to fabric, there are countless ways to turn them into
something epic. You could make scatter cushions out of them, pencil cases,
cooking aprons or even lampshades! Going this route allows for your creative
flair to shine.
Create an Instax Wallpaper
What better way to
admire your pictures, than having them printed out onto a wallpaper textile,
and applied to a feature wall? Not only is this creative, but it’s also
innovative and can transform a boring space, to one that oozes character. A
wall full of memories will warm your home and will leave you feeling proud of
all your favorite shots.

You have some
memorable photos that deserve to be looked at! From beautiful holiday destinations, hikes with friends,
life-changing experiences you encountered and loved ones that you cherish- all
these documented memories deserve to feature in your life, and not just your
social media feed. So, get those creative juices flowing, and take your favorite
shots, from cloud to canvas!
