Instagram pictures have invaded every corner of your socially networked world. So it’s only fitting that those snazzy, heavily dusted images start popping up in real life — city skylines and poached eggs should look great on a pillowcase… right?
Prints
The most obvious thing to do is just print ’em out! For $US12, Printstagr.am offers two size options — a set of 48 for minis or a set of 24 for Polaroid-like squares. [clear]
Pillows
Yes. Who wouldn’t want to sleep on a throw pillow that’s covered in raindrops on a windshield, clouds from the aeroplane and your oh so drunk friends. Stitchtagram makes handmade 15-inch pillows covered in Instagram pictures, and if you stay within a certain theme, they actually turn out quite well. [clear]
T-Shirts
It’s like creating your own graphic tee — an Instagram photo on an American Apparel T-shirt. I don’t know if I’d do it. But it’s only 20 bucks, it’s not that bad. Get one here from Printstagr.am. [clear]
iPhone or iPad Case
Only fitting to plaster your Instagram photos on the phone responsible for your Instagram photos! Can you imagine the time/space worm you’d create if you used an Instagram iPhone case of you taking a picture with your iPhone in that case in front of a mirror? Like having a phone with a picture of you taking a picture and then taking another picture? Do it with Casetagram. [clear]
Coasters
These round sandstone coasters from Coastermatic got the thumbs-up approval by our features editor Harry Sawyers who fancies himself many a drinks. Though secretly, I wish they were square. Four for $US25 at Coastermatic. [clear]
Calendar
I can see it now. January shows a heavily filtered, horrible picture of the harbour, February has a purposely shortened shot, throw in a rainy day for April, a double rainbow in May, and you’re on your way to a self-curated calendar by Keepsy. I want to see a calendar filled with Instagram pics for every single day. [clear]
Stickers
I don’t know if most people grow up and pretend they never loved stickers, but that ain’t me. This one has obvious appeal. $US10 for 252 stickers at Printstagr.am. 252! [clear]
Magnets
Your fridge just got cooler. (Sorry.) $US15 for six magnetic magics at Stickygram. [clear]
Coffee Mug
Your mug just got hotter. (Sorry, again.) $25 for a mug at Zazzle. [clear]
Ceramic Tile
Cover an entire wall, see pictures while you shower, turn your kitchen floor into a shrine or just have a unique one-off ceramic snapshot. Classy-ish. Starting at $US4 for a 2-inch x 2-inch tile at ImageSnap.[clear]
