How to Create an Instagram Story with Your Free Patterns, Using PicMonkey
Bring a botanical mood to your social media account with these free floral patterns. Here, we’ll look at how you can create a high-impact Instagram Story using online editing app PicMonkey.
Even if you’re new to the app, you’ll discover it’s super easy to create a story image in no time.
Step 1
Go to PicMonkey and identify the options under the “Collage layouts and blank canvases” section at the bottom of the page.
Click on Choose a blank, and then select Instagram Story from the list of templates.
Step 2
Click on Graphics at the top of the left-hand toolbar, and then choose Add your own graphic > Computer.
Navigate to the folder of JPEG images in your download, and choose one of the images inside, clicking Open.
Step 3
To add text to your story, you may need to block out some of the pattern elements to create white space. A quick way of doing this is to click on Graphics > Basic and choose a simple circle shape.
Adjust the color to match your photo background using the Eyedropper tool. Use your shape to block out part of the pattern, copying and pasting the circle repeatedly until you’re happy with the result.
Step 4
Click on the Text option in the toolbar to insert a text frame onto the canvas. You can choose from a wide variety of text templates and font styles to give your Story stylish text.
Step 5
Once you’ve finished working on your design, click the Share button at the top-right of the workspace to upload your image to your social media account.
Alternatively, click on Download to save a copy of the image to your computer.
