INSTAX Clip Photo Frame DIY
Wowza how this month is flying by! Father’s Day is already here this weekend, I need to show you what we’re gifting this year. You’ll love this clip photo frame idea, it is super easy to make, will only cost a few dollars, the kiddos can help out, plus you can make it in about 10 minutes, win, win, win!
First off I need to tell you about my little photo printer, the Instax® SHARE SP-1. This little guy prints photos right from your smart phone in seconds! You can edit, add filters, even add text right from your phone, then print and have it in your hands right away! It is perfect for photo gifts, like this DIY Photo Clip Frame, scrapbooking and project life, party photo booths, and so much more! You can learn more about this fun printer on the Instax SHARE site.
Supplies to make an Instax Clip Photo Frame
- Instax SHARE printer + film
- Smart phone + Fuji Instax app (app store, google play)
- 1 x 6″ board (mine measures 15″ long, but depending on how many photos you include you can adjust that)
- Dollar Store Metal binder clips
- Gorilla Super Glue
- Pencil
How to make a DIY Photo Clip Frame
This photo clip frame is ridiculously easy to make (you can get a 1 x 6″ cut at the Home Depot if you don’t have tools at home, stain or paint desired color).
- Gather your supplies.
- Print your photos using the Instax® SHARE SP-1 printer
- Add clip to top of the photo and arrange on the board as desired (measure for accuracy if thats your bag, I’m the eyeball type).
- Use the pencil to mark where you’d like to place the clip.
- Add a bead of Super Glue to the circle part of the clip, as well as the straight bar where it will contact the wood. Place on the pencil mark and hold in place for 20 seconds. Repeat for all clips.
- Clip photos in place.
Super easy clip photo frame eh?! I added a small trim piece to my frame, but that totally ins’t necessary if you’re not into cutting and nailing.
You don’t have to stick to a small board either. I also made a another larger Father’s Day photo gift using a 11″ x 13″ piece of plywood. Then printed 12 Instax photos of Daddy and his kiddos. The best part is if you take a better or more meaningful photo you can switch them out, or change the theme.
I had a lot of fun with the children snapping photos to clip up on our frame. This photo gift is not only perfect for Father’s Day. It would make a great gift for grandma and grandpa, birthdays, and especially Christmas!
Isn’t this such an easy gift idea? Older kids could even tackle this one all on their own!

Best memory. Going to a dentist appointment then going for strawberry milkshakes afterwards. I still remember how awesome that was, and all the strawberries that got jammed in my straw because there were really big berries still in that shake. YUMMY!!!
My grandfather was my father growing up and one of my best memories was with myself, my brother, and all our cousins being pulled behind his 3-wheeler on a sled during the winter!
So many! My best is that my Dad and I always did groceries together. It was our regular Thursday night date
What a great giveaway! One of my best memories of my dad is when he would let my sisters and I help him build things in his workshop. He taught me how to use a drill press, jigsaw, table saw… all the fun tools, and that is one thing I will never forget and always be thankful for!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Going fishing at Harsen’s Island, Michigan. I caught a bigger fish than he did one time, when I was about 9years old, and he told all of his friends about it! I was so proud!
My best memory was fishing with my dad! Was the best time ever and everytime I take my boys fishing I think about him!
Best memory is when I was little and he would take me for a drive after dinner and we would stop and get an ice cream cone! It was our special time together!
I always remember going fishing with my Dad!
I remember going for picnics with my dad.
Great Project!
Dad and I would always go for breakfast Saturday morning and he would let me order whatever I wanted. I always ordered deep fried potatoes and hot chocolate with whipped cream on the top! One weekend he got stopped by the police for squealing his tires with his ’89 Camero. The best part is they didn’t stop him until he reached our driveway and he made me promise not to tell mom who was waited inside the house!
My dad might not have always been around because of his work schedule but he always made a point to have talks with me. I don’t have many memories of my dad because of my dad’s work schedule but he always made sure we were provided for and that he spent the little time he had with us.
I have lots of great childhood memories with my Dad, but my favorite is dancing with him at my wedding.
My dad was a tech rep for GE airplane engines. We traveled all over the world. What a great experience, which helped shape who i am today.
wow, that is a super cool dad!
Best memory of my dad was when he was laying on the couch watching Mohammad Ali box and I was the only one of us kids interested and I’d be laying on his legs! Love that memory!
I remember my dad taking me and my sister for pony rides
Me and my dad would play with my beanie babies when I was a little girl and he would pretend to talk with the bears and imitate their voices! I still have the bears to give to my kids!
My favourite memories of my dad are hiking trips with him and my little brother.
Such a fun give-away. I’m getting the iPhone 6 soon and I’d love to be able to easily print of all the pictures I’m going to take!
When I was little I used to go to work with him a lot, listening to a lot of Tom Petty. Whenever I hear any of those songs it’s like i’m back in those moments.
My best memory is of my dad taking me dirt bike riding
What a great idea! I love that you can switch it out as often as you want. My dad is a total photo geek so he would love this too. My favourite memories of him are all the hikes, camping and backpacking trips we took growing up. And the thousands of photos he took every single trip.
The day he walked me down the aisle. He was so proud !
My best memory is definitely learning to golf with Dad! 🙂
My best memory of my dad were his hands. He was a hand holder.
mine is going fishing
My best memory was when my Dad taught me to waterski!
One of my favourite memories with my dad is a pretty simple one. He used to race me up the stairs after dinner and then I’d sit on the bathroom counter watching him shave while we chatted.
My dad and I went fishing last year, I fell in the lake.lol
ha ha ha, nice that you made light of your misfortune! My dad loves to laugh, I’m sure he would have busted a gut
This is such a quick and easy project. The possibilities are endless!
My favorite memory of me and my dad is a beach trip we took when I was younger. He lost track of me and when he finally found me, I was clutching a handful of flowers.
I never knew my dad he left when I was very young. But I have a great memory of my husbands first fathers day with out first born.
My favorite memory of my dad unfortunately was when my sister was sick and I got to go to a concert and spend the whole day with my dad, just us.
My dad and I would play catch, me using my brother’s ball glove.
teaching me how to ride my bike and how to fish at the park
my dad spent many hours teaching and practising baseball with me ..he was even my baseball coach for many years
My favorite memory is my dad coaching me soccer when I was younger. We spent a lot of time at practice and games and I have so many great memories from playing. He was a great coach and I wouldn’t have wanted any other person to coach me.
my best memory with my dad is when we left my mom and sister at home and went to a country concert in niagara falls. we rarely did one on one and we had a great time
Going to the CNE with my family and my dad winning me a big pink teddy bear.
My favourite memories of my dad are him trying to teach me how to play softball. He was so patient and I was so bad.
I would say doing groceries together and spending time at fairs.
I remember going for camping, picnic with my father.
My best memory with my dad was going to horse races in inverness!
The best memory of my dad would have to be the camping trips we had every year. Hoping to do the same with my kids.
My dad and I spent months practicing the waltz for my prom Father-Daughter Dance. My dad was not a natural dancer by any stretch so I knew this wasn’t in his comfort zone but he plugged away. Imagine when Kenny Rogers started playing instead of the planned Viennese Waltz. My dad, ever the trooper, stomped away and I just melted for him that night.
oh that gave me goose bumps, go dad!
All of them! But probably fishing trips and playing monster with him, something my girls now do with my husband. 🙂
All of them. But, more specifically, fishing and playing monster. This is now the stuff my girls do with my husband. 🙂
Wow, I could not think of a better gadget than this one! My daughter says it is a “must have” since she takes so many photos with her phone. Fingers crossed that we can win this one!
I have a superstar dad. As one of six kids who were all into sports, out household was a very busy one. But we all could always count on my dad to make sure that each of our teams had at least one cheering family member, even when we played away games! My dad has always been there for us. Now he is frequently on the sidelines for the grandkids and even taught my nephews how to skate on the local lake!
That is so nice to hear, I come from a big family and know how much of a struggle making it can be!
The best memory I have of me and my dad is when I landed my first salmon. He helped me catch it and was so proud of me.
I would LOVE to win this little printer! Anything to make it easier for me to get my photos into my scrapbook albums!
One of my best memories of my Dad was when he was working away through the week. I would wake up every Saturday morning SO excited to be able to spend the weekend with my Dad – and he would leave a treat in the fridge for me and my sister – each our own bottle of Pepsi! I guess that’s where my addiction first started 🙂
That is so cute Shannon!
My biological father was never in the picture … but my dad whom had later came into the picture treated me like as if I am his own made me feel so loved with his loving and caring gestures. Our best memory together is him bringing home some donut holes (sugar glazed munchkins) and having me sit on his lap even after a long day of work.
One of the best memories I have with my Papa is every time we eat. It’s our bonding time 😉
Fishing and camping with my dad
My best memory of my dad when we went on a road trip together.
My favorite memory is hiking trails in Colorado with my Dad and my black lab. Hiking is in our blood! Love those days!
When we were on holidays and Dad and I rode the bumper boats , we laughed so hard running in to each other , it was so fun
This is very cool! I have seen them before but never with a finished project. (which I totally love by the way) I see you are a Project Lifer. I love that way of scrapping and I think these photos would definitely be perfect for it. Thanks so much for this. I am you newest follower!
Thanks Michelle! These little photos are perfect for project life! They are just so cute!!
I was about 8, and dad took me to work with him. I was already pretty excited to hang out at the store with him, but that night, he drove a different way home. I didn’t realize where we were going until we arrived at the baseball stadium! It was our first father-daughter game. We left the game early, and I think someone stole my sweatshirt, but it’s still one of my favourite memories, the first of many games together. =)
Awe that was sweet
My best memory is going on vacation together
It was when we went fishing and was very different from city life
My dad bringing me to the pool and beach, teaching me how to swim.
My best memory is of him teaching me to play baseball! He was so patient and so proud!
my dad taking us to a rocky beach by my mom’s work place where we looked for mini crabs under rocks, and where he taught us how to skip rocks.
I don’t have memory – but, I sure had and still have one hell of a mother!!
This looks so amazing! Pinned and tweeted! Thanks for being a part of our party. I hope to see you, Monday at 7 pm. Lou Lou Girls
Such a cute idea and I love how you can easily change out the photos. I want that printer too!
