Instax mini DIY

When my obsession with Polaroid starts, I wrote about how to get a polaroid like photo using your phone and print them with your printer. I love the square photo finished when I used Instant App. I tried to look for Instax mini size app but I didn’t find one. (if you do find them in the app store let me know ).

So for the time being I made the Instax mini size photo using a template, adobe photoshop and a color printer.

To download the template click here. (It’s in psd format and it print of A4 paper)

#1. Open the file with Adobe Photoshop. I organize the frames into groups. So you can clipped your photos frame by frame.

#2. Use the clipping mask to put your photo into position. Make sure you uncheck the AutoSelect. Add text if you want to or delete the layer is you don’t want to add text.

#3. Repeat the process for the rest of the frames.

#4. And when you are done with all the nine photos, you are ready to print them out


This is the final output after you cut them out. Nice little Instax mini polaroid photos. I just love these little momentous of my random life.

I hope you enjoy making Intax mini of some of your photos. It takes a little bit of your time and it is not instant but you have the feeling of holding the Instax mini photos in your hand.
