The festive season is here and that means jingle bells are in the air! Every parent is out there shopping for gifts for the kids but also for themselves. And not to mention, the Christmas decorations are going up.
This year, we got a Fujifilm Instax Mini Link printer to review and we got really inspired to use the Instax print outs to decorate the house — not just for Christmas but also all year long!
Before we get into the ideas, here’s a quick review of the Fujifilm Instax Mini Link printer. The printer comes in four very sleek colours, including white, pink, denim and beige gold. We got our hands on a white unit and a couple of Instax film packets, which were the blue marble and macaron packets.
To get started, you have to download the Instax Mini Link app on your smartphone and the setup is very quick and easy. Just long press the Instax power button (which is just the middle button on the machine) and pair it on your smartphone. Then load up your printer with a film packet and you’re good to go!
From there, you can quickly upload your photos in the app and add in fun text and frames or even create a collage to print! Once you’re done with the design, just click print and within a couple of seconds, you’ll see your print out come out and the instant film will develop over the next minute or so.
I love the fact that you can now use your smartphone photos to print out using instant film rather than only getting photos directly from the Instax camera. This means MORE SELFIE print outs with better angles! But also that we can customised the instant film with fun frames too.
It makes for good gifts to others but also for home decoration! Here are some instant print decorating ideas for the home.
