9 MORE Creative Ways to Edit your Instagram Stories Using the Instagram App

This first edit I'm doing, what you're going to want to do is add text so I'm just going to add coffee because that's what I wanted to say and then I'm going to make sure it's in the font strong. Then I'm going to move it on my image to a spot where it's kind of blank and there's room around it so like right here. Next what I'm going to do is I'm going to add text and I'm just going to write out half the word and then I'm going to take the color selection tool and then move it to like a darker part of the coffee to pick up a color. Then what I'm going to do is I'm going to put it on the other half of the word so if it says coffee in the front half I'm just going to put the cof over here. Then what I'm going to do is repeat the same thing for the other side and just get the color and arrange it on the other portion. Okay so I'm just going to go back and change the color too so they're the same. Okay and then once you have that you could just finish arranging it. So this next edit is going to be something that has colorful text on the side so you're going to want to photo and orient it so that it's sideways like this so that the right or left side of your screen is pretty blank. Then what I'm going to do is add the letters for summer individually and I'm making sure it's in the font strong and I'm just going to arrange them along their heads. Okay so once I have that I'm going to add the text again but this time I'm going to change the color so I'm just going to pick up colors either from their sunglasses or ones that I think would look nice and arrange them so it looks like there's a white shadow on text. Okay and then once I have that I can just go ahead and post it. So for the next edit what I'm going to do is go to the text button again and just type Saturday. You could obviously type whatever text and then I'm going to add a background and change it to pink and I'm going to arrange it on the part of the image where I want it to say that and I'm going to make sure that the right part of it is off the screen a little bit and then I'm going to add another thing of text but it's just going to be the dash. I'm going to make it as long as this other one and then make the background and then add a lighter color as the background. Then I'm just going to go ahead and arrange it so that it's behind this and then click on the Saturday text so it comes over it and just work on arranging it until I have it how I like it. Then what you can do is you can add like a little heart with this tool here or something like that and you have your next. The next edit is one of those travel ones so I'm going to go ahead and write two different locations so say you're traveling from like the JFK airport to LAX and I'm just going to position them on the screen kind of far apart so we can get the effect we want and then I'm going to go ahead and add the emoji for a pin. Okay so once I have that I'm going to go to the draw tool and this marker tool make sure it's selected on white and then I'm just going to do one of these doodles from this pin to that pin and you guys can redo it a couple times but you get the general idea and this is how it's supposed to look and you can go ahead and post. So the last way to edit it what you're going to want to do is go to the draw tool and this marker tool and I'm just going to write Saturday. Then what you're going to do is go to the erase tool and erase a middle section. I'm going to make it a little bigger though. Once you have that I'm going to go ahead and go to text and I'm going to write Saturday out in lowercase letters and put two spaces in between it and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to change the color. You could try picking up a color from the background but I don't think the ones on here show up very well so I'm going to go ahead and arrange it in that space that's empty and I'm going to change the color again because it doesn't look very good there. Usually the darker colors look good when it's super bright. And then you just put it in the middle and then you can post it to your story. For this next edit what you're going to want to do is go to the draw tool and make it whatever color you want. I like the color yellow and then you're going to just write out GM. Try to make the letters kind of big and I kind of made them kind of twirly and look super nice. Then go to the erase tool and we're going to erase like a mid section of this and it takes a few tries to get it how you want it. Then once I did this I'm going to go ahead and type in good I'm going to go ahead and type in good morning in the font strong and just arrange it so that it's in here and then if you guys want you can also add this like circle thing on the side it's a text effect that you have and arrange it in there like so and then you could just post it to your story. So the next option what you're going to want to do is go to the draw tool and go to the marker option and make it kind of a larger stroke. Then I'm going to go ahead and collect a color from the background that I want but I want to make it kind of dark. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to take that and I'm just going to do a scribble in like a large area of the photo and I'm going to go over it twice so that it's more opaque. Then what I'm going to do is add text in the font strong and I'm just going to write mood and then it again and one of them I'm going to make a blue color so I'm going to make it kind of a lighter blue than what her shorts were so that it's easier to see. Then I'm going to go ahead and put this on the on this scribble that we made and arrange it like so. And then I'm just going to type for summer and change the font to the typewriter font and I'm just going to put that underneath like so and for the next story I'm going to go to the draw tool and I'm going to select a darker color probably like this dark brown or a dark orange or I'll go with this green actually and I'm just going to make the size a little bit bigger and I'm going to write summer in all caps. Next what I'm going to do is I'm going to click on white and make the size as small as possible and just go over this in a script font and it might take a couple of times but then you have your next Instagram story. So the next idea what you're going to want to do is figure out what you want to say. I want to type summer so I'm just going to write the U-M-M-E-R for summer and I'm going to change the font to strong and arrange it here and then I'm just going to put O-V-I-N and one of these and arrange that underneath it. Next what I'm going to do is go to the draw tool and I want a pink so I'm going to make it a little bit larger and make it the marker tool and then I'm just going to add my letters and now what I'm going to do is click on the draw tool make it the smallest size go back to white and just go over it. You guys can also do it with this tool I think this one like this sparkly one looks kind of cool and then you have it so then you can just save it to your Instagram story.
