Pinterest & Canva: A Dynamic Duo For Dreamy Wallpapers
After reading this blog, your lock screens, home screens, and everything in between will be as aesthetic as they come! Express yourself and your mood through photos of nature, fashion, quotes, sports, hobbies... the list could go on and on. Follow along with the steps below to create a wallpaper that will make you smile and will show off something that YOU created. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Browse Pinterest for inspiration and images that describe your MOOD.
There are no limits to where your scrolling can lead you. Some key search terms that we suggest are “motivation,” “fall season,” “men’s/women’s fashion inspo,” or “nature.” Pin each of your images on a board so you don’t lose them for step 2. Warning: this step may take some time, as Pinterest can become addicting!
Step 2: Download your favorite images now!
Once you have gathered all of the images for your wallpaper, it’s time to download them onto your desktop or into your phone’s photo library! To download an image, click the three dots next to the image. You should have 8-12 images if you are creating a desktop wallpaper, and 5-7 if you are making a phone wallpaper. After you press the real fun begins...
Step 3: Open Canva and search “Desktop Wallpaper” or “Phone Wallpaper”
