Instagram Photo Planters
Chelsea Foy
To transfer Instagram photos onto planters, firmly cover a laser-printed Instagram photo with packing tape, leaving a tape border around the edges of the image. Submerge the tape in water for a few minutes, and then gently roll the wet paper away from the back of the tape until it feels smooth. The ink will remain on the tape. Let dry, and when the tape is sticky again, stick the image to the front of your planter.
