DIY POLAROIDS

I didn't know whether to post this or not as its a bit different to my normal beauty posts and it might be a bit self explanatory. I think polaroids are so cute, however the camera and film is so expensive, especially when polaroids are not that hard to make. I know this is a bit different from my normal posts but I wanted to share this as I think its such a good, affordable gift idea. I currently have quite a few pegged on to a piece of string in my room and I think it looks really pretty, I also gave some to my friend for Christmas and she seemed to love them!

I have created a template for you to use (here) and all you need to do is attach the pictures you wish to use. You could include pictures of anything you want. I have pictures from my holiday last year and pictures with my friends and family.

1.Once you have downloaded the document go to insert - image...

2.Then select the images you want and drag them onto the polaroid template and alter them to fit the sizing.

3.Then click on the printer button. For the best result, use photo paper when printing. I would choose A4 sized photo paper, unfortunately I only have small sheets but that's fine as it still works perfectly.
4. Once printed, cut around the outline and you have your finished polaroids. You can now use them however you want. Hope this was interesting, Thankyou for reading xx

I was aiming to start my blog at the beginning of the year, but I underestimated how long it takes to design a blog without help and get it to look how I wanted. I spent ages trying to think of a name for my blog but everything just sounded stupid so now I have the simplest name possible, Contrast to the name I don't want to restrict myself to just makeup and beauty. I have been watching youtube for around seven years and have always loved the concept of it but I don't think I would ever do it, I have only recently started reading blog posts but I thought I could give it a try. I'm aiming to do makeup and the occasional hair tutorial, product reviews and baking. Basically anything I want to write about. Im currently in my second to last year of secondary school doing my GCSEs so I don't think I will be able to post more than once a week, but if I have time I will put up additional posts. I want my blog post to go up every Sunday at 11am (GMT). Sorry this post was so boring I just wanted to introduce my blog.
