The Instagram Stained Glass DIY Brings Social Media to Life

— March 12, 2013 — Tech

With all of the filters and special effects available on the Instagram app, practically anyone can consider themselves to be an artistically interesting photographer, sharing their personal pictures with the online world. But do those people have the guts to share those images with the real world? By printing out a private collection of Instagram photos on clear plastic and adhering it to a window, the project is a way of exposing oneself to the public in the physical world.

Using colorful images for the Instagram stained glass DIY project will create wonderful light effects as the sun shines through.
