Tips for Creating Creative Instagram Stories
Tips for Creating Creative Instagram Stories

Below you can see the tips I often use to organize and beautify my Instagram stories.

Change Text Color and Text Background Color

In your Instagram stories, you can change the text color or the background color of the text as you wish. What you need to do is as follows;

  • write any article
  • hold your finger on a color from the color list that appears at the bottom of the screen
  • you will see the color palette
  • Select the color you want by swiping your finger on the color palette.

Creating a Background Color

Want to make the background of your Instagram stories one color but don't know how? The solution is very easy!

  • Choose a random photo to share on your Instagram stories
  • Select the “pen” tool in the top menu
  • Choose one of the colors that appear at the bottom of the screen.
  • Press and hold your finger on the screen to fill the screen with that color, that's it!
  • Then you can add the text you want on top or from other toys of Instagram.

Creating a Transparent Background or Overlay (Fligram)

You will do all the steps I explained above in the same way, but this time choose the transparent pen, not the pen.

  • Choose a random photo to share on your Instagram stories
  • Select the “transparent pen” tool in the top menu, it is in the second place in the pen menu.
  • Choose one of the colors that appear at the bottom of the screen.
  • Press and hold your finger on the screen to fill the screen with that color, that's it!
  • Then you can add the text you want on top or from other toys of Instagram.

Creating an Eraser Effect

After creating the background color, you can create creative visuals on the photo you use by choosing the "eraser" tool.

Creating Text with Rainbow Colors

The effect of coloring the text in rainbow colors in Instagram stories is called ombre. Here is what you need to do for the ombre effect.

  • write a text
  • Select all text
  • Keep your right thumb on purple color
  • Keep your left thumb over the text cursor
  • Swipe both fingers in the middle at the same time, you will see the letters change color

Showing the Same Photo Consecutively with More Text

You've probably seen stories where you see the same photo over and over but the text on it has changed. It looks as if there is an animation, but it is actually very simple to implement.

  • Choose an image to create your Instagram story
  • Save your first created image to your phone before sharing it
  • Create your second story using this image and save it to your phone.
  • Once you've prepared as many stories as you want, publish them in the order you want.

People who follow you will be watching an animation while watching your stories.

Creating a Pop-up Image

Would you like to show any photo on your profile as if a pop-up was opened on your profile? This is very simple.

  • Select any photo on your profile
  • Hold your finger on that photo
  • Take a screenshot when you see the popup image. Screenshots are not easy to take, but after a few tries, you can do it.

Creating an Instagram Story Cover

When you highlight Instagram stories, you can create stylish, beautiful and funny covers for your stories.

  • You can create a cover by choosing one of your featured stories.
  • You can create your own unique cover using an image editing application. apps for editing my photos and videos on instagram In my article, I mentioned the applications that you can use for the cover, you can take a look at them.

Adding Music to Instagram Story

When I first prepared this article, different applications such as Inshot were used to add music to your Instagram stories. However, recently (April 2020) Instagram made the feature of adding music to stories available for Turkey as well.

When you click on the features section on your Instagram stories page, you should see the "MUSIC" option. If you don't see it, it may not have arrived specifically for your user yet. After entering the music section, you can choose one of the special suggestions from the "for you" section or choose a song you want from the "browse" section. You can also choose a song that you especially prefer by saying "Search in music", the library is quite rich. I chose Happy. You have the possibility to project the lyrics to the screen in different formats, you can see how you can choose from the screenshots below.

After choosing the transfer format of the music, you can select the desired part of the song from the section in the form of a tape below. When you say "done" your story is ready to be published!

I hope these little suggestions will be of use to you to make your Instagram stories more creative and entertaining. If there are other methods you use, add them as comments and I'll try!

Don't forget to follow my social media accounts to be informed about my new posts and for more photos and videos! 

Stay on the Road!
