Certain blogs have been asking me about how I create my instagram stories *cough* @jasonvtodd *cough* It also came to my attention that people are paying for templates, which is a complete scam. You can have a great aesthetic that many influencers etc. have without paying:
Here is a list of apps that let you edit and style your instagram stories, either they are free, or have free templates etc. Bold are my personal faves
First Step is to take good quality pictures:

Now that you have the pictures you may want to edit them:

You can also download Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop (students can get this free though certain uni’s)
Now the Best Part the Stories Aesthetic:
Unfold - Unfold is super easy to use. With classic minimalist templates
StoriesEdit - This app is great for both text and pictures, and there is a fantastic setting for fonts and specific designs
StoryLuxe - wonderful templates, pretty straightforward and simple
StoryLoop - this app has great templates for one picture at a time stories
Made - Classic, streamlined templates, plenty of them are free
Layout - This is the newest app I have discovered, and it has some great templates, super easy to use
A Design Kit - This is great for quick edits, and adding really cute stickers – really adds to your pictures
Canva - this has a lot more templates for quotes, along side pictures and such, great for self promotion
Honestly if you google/youtube tips millions of links will come up, you don’t need to ever pay money to get the instagram aesthetic cause almost always there is a better free option, happy instagraming
