One of my favorite parts about traveling is taking photos. Since I never want to lug my DSLR camera with me, I usually toss an instant camera in my bag and hit the town. Now that the year is coming to a close, I thought it would be fun to weave my collection into my holiday decor. Because honestly, what is Christmas without a little sparkle and fun?! Here’s how:
Time: 10 minutes
Materials: Fujifilm Instax Mini 70 camera, Instax film, clips, star frame, tinsel, scissors
I recently upgraded by Instax Mini 8 to the Fujifilm Instax Mini 70 and I gotta tell you, it’s amazing! Not only are the pictures sharp, but it even has a self timer and selfie feature. Completely life changing, especially for those fun group shots!
If you’re just getting the camera, snap some photos! It would even be a cute idea to take pictures during a holiday party and fill up a wreath as the night moves along.
Wrap the tinsel around the wire frame. You want to avoid any overlap so the wreath doesn’t become bulky. Since the corners are pointed, I recommend cutting a separate smaller piece of tinsel to weave in after you’ve finished wrapping.
Clip your photos in place, add some ribbon and you’re ready to display! So fun, don’t you think?! And if you use silver tinsel like I did, you can very well leave this wreath up all winter long.
