Keep things sweet, simple, and fun with these tips that are sure to keep it interesting enough to keep watching! Whether you’re a social media influencer in the works to build your branding or just someone who wants to keep their stories fun, keep it interesting!

1. Make Your Pictures Smaller

If you don’t know, when you upload your pictures from your camera roll, resize the image with two fingers into a smaller frame. It’ll make your story additions look like album pages, giving all your followers an authentic look into your personal life through photographs as the way it should be! This way, you can easily edit and caption your photos without having to worry about it not getting seen. It keeps your story looking clean, neat and easy on the eyes!

2. Edit Pictures Using Pen Tool

If you’re not taking advantage of it already, the pen tool enters a whole new world of opportunities. You used to draw all over your books in school so why not do the same to your pictures. It shows off the energy you want to present when the picture just isn’t enough! Don’t be shy with the pen tool and let your creativity run! If the colour you want isn’t there, then don’t forget that the colour reel has the option to let you use a colour from the photo!

3. Have Fun With The Text Tool

Just because the text tool allows you to type in a row, it doesn’t mean you have to! Type out your letters individually and decorate them to spell out however you want and wherever you want! You don’t always need to follow the rules and let your imagination flow with all the new ways you can decorate your Instagram story with a small tip like this. Make them pop using your pen tool to stand out from the rest of your picture with all sorts of bold colours!

4. Layer Your Text

Just like before, the text tool has limitless options! Layer your text to make it bolder and bigger. Bring attention to what you need to say with fun Instagram story hacks like layering your text. Keep it interesting with a variety of colours that’ll make your story to keep it consistent and easy on the eyes. It adds a whole kind of retro feel that can’t be created otherwise, if you’re seeking nostalgia as a theme, this is a great way to add character to your story!
