Making wrapping newspaper for exceptional ocassions is i of my favourite things to do. In fact I induce got featured a few I've made inwards the past, here, here together with here.

It's fairly elementary if you're familiar amongst Illustrator (my adobe app of choice), but could hold upwardly translated using photoshop every bit well. In fact it's thence simple, it mightiness non fifty-fifty hold upwardly a existent tutorial. But hither it goes!
To start: Pick 12 liberate instagram images for this type of layout (to check an 8.5" x 11" portrait newspaper size). I opened upwardly my feed online - instagram.com/poppytalk/# together with thence went to each picture I wished to download to my desktop, together with copied each to my desktop. Most people likely know how to, but only inwards case; teach to each image, striking control-click (mac) or right-click (pc), thence click on "View Background Image" which volition opened upwardly the picture to a novel page together with thence control-click "save picture as" to salve to your desktop.

Choose missive of the alphabet size to brand a missive of the alphabet size slice for your wrapping paper. If you lot desire your wrapping newspaper to hold upwardly larger together with you lot induce got a larger printer that prints legal or 11"x17" thence of course of report role those to brand a larger slice of wrapping paper. After you lot induce got chosen your size, together with inwards this instance nosotros are using letter, select the portrait orientation together with striking o.k. Then foremost to identify your images inwards side past times side. I exercise this past times opening upwardly the file folder which has my newly resized images inwards it (e.g. "untitled folder 2") together with thence only click together with drag them onto my page. But you lot tin likewise of course of report role the "file", "place" selection. And thence I only foremost to describe of piece of employment each i upwardly giving a footling infinite inwards betwixt each other every bit a border.
Continue to drag together with identify each picture into the 8.5"x11" space. You volition uncovering when you lot teach to the end iii at the bottom they volition hold upwardly cutting off a flake (which is the agency it's supposed to be).
