10 Instagram Story Ideas - Nobody Shows You!!!

guys these new Instagram pictures are done so I've got ten awesome amazing epic I'm glowing story ideas using layouts it just packs fonts and a couple other tricks at mass but guys let's just get into it all [Music] right so for this first one we're gonna be checking out a new feature from Instagram called layout so if you have a look at the bottom here in stories if you swipe to the left there is a new feature called layouts and these are grid templates so I've got a four grid template you can take pictures just like this if you want or what super cool is if you don't take pictures you can use ones that already exists in your gallery so you just click on a little icon right every day and then just choose the images you want to use in your story so of course I'm just selecting the images that I want to showcase and what's also pretty enough T is you can still move the images around within each block so if you don't like the positioning of the picture you can change that up so once you're done you just click on that tick button and now you can customize it even further so I just thought I'll throw in these dashes but this is a really cool new feature and here is just another example on the right hand side of a three line grid so you get some different options and definitely check this out now of course by now we are all aware of gifs or gifts whatever you want to call them but what's really cool is if you know what to search for you can find some really cool gifts so for example once you've got your story ready head on over to the gifts section by clicking on that icon and of course selecting the gift icon and then type in gladdest and what you'll find is a really awesome collection of gifts made by a particular artist that uploaded these under the hashtag gladdest now what's so epic about these gifts collections is it so easy to make your Instagram stories look like thebomb.com without having to search thousands upon thousands of gifts and one of the best ways to find gif collections like this is just head on over to Pinterest and search insta story gifts and there are a whole bunch of different ones so for example aluminum is a really cool one and also tape you'd be so surprised at how many cool different tape options there are so go out and find some facts that you like and just remember what the collection names are okay now this is a really cool one and does involve a different keyboard so if you head on over to the text icon and you check out this little keyboard icon in the bottom right hand corner all you're going to do is change over to the Google G board you can download it from the App Store or the Play Store so this will work for both Android and iPhone users which is epic so once you've designed your stories and maybe added some text what you're gonna do is click on that text icon again but right over here you'll see a little sticker icon and if you click on that you have these really cute little stickers that move and here I downloaded this coffee wine so I just placed this little sticker in my story and like that I have the most adorable a little animated sticker in my story and this is only available on the G board so it just went back to this little coffee stickers shows another one and popped it in there are so many different ones to choose from so definitely check those out but if you're not a fan of stickers which you can also do is head on over to the keyboard and click on the Jeff icon or gifts and in the search section I just looked up a wine of course you look up whatever you would want to add to your story and then straight away once you click on it it's added to your story and again you've got a completely different looking story than what you could make on Instagram itself now this is a cool little way to share your favorite songs and all you do is grab a picture of say your earbuds or air parts of whatever you have let head on over to the music section within Instagram stories and of course look up the song that it is you want to share with your audience and then once you've selected your option you're just gonna want to make sure that it's on this lyric selection simply because it looks the best so once you've done that you can go ahead and change the colors customize it a little bit more if you want to and then you're gonna place the lyrics next to your earbud just as you see me doing here so it says if the lyrics are coming out of the earbud if that makes sense and then I went and searched lines I found this really cool little gift pop that next to the earbud and just like that you've shared a cool song but in a really epic way am i right this is another really epic one and again involves a different keyboard so you can get this keyboard called fonts from the Play Store or app store again available for Android or iPhone users which is so nifty and then once its installed again head on over to Instagram and then change your keyboard from whichever one it's on to the fonts keyboard and now you can make super interesting stories because if you go to the keyboard you will see these options right at the top there and if you slide along these options you'll see the various fonts available so you literally just select the one you want and as you see the entire keyboard changes and the font just like that it's not one your stories I think this is so cool and such a fun way to make your stories look super different and interesting on top of that you can also still change the size of the font you can also add the background if you want so it literally works exactly the same as the fonts in Instagram except you've got different fonts if you're not I'm saying so here I also just made a little quote I decided to use the comic font and as you can see it looks completely different than just jazzes things up a little bit so definitely check out that font keyboard [Music] okay now for this one you're gonna want to have a video of just something completely random like these flowers or sometimes I do it off the sky and feel free to add a filter if you want but then what you're going to do is make the page completely solid from there select that you raise a tool and now you're going to erase a border and what this does as you can see is just add some visual interest to your story because your border is actually moving and is not a solid color if that makes sense you could also do this just by expanding a gift to a really huge size but nonetheless I like to use videos and on the left is another example of where I took some video of clouds and made the story pngs are actually really great accessories to any story so yeah I've just got a picture of coffee and in my gallery I have some saved PNG images these ones I made but you can save so many off of the Internet and all you do is you copy this image then head on over back to your stories and paste it as a sticker you then just scale it up place it where you want and add another one if you want and like that I've just elevated the story using some PNG that are always saved in my gallery and what's so nice about having these PNG saved is you can use them on so many different pictures just like this example on the left hand side so go out save some PNG s and use them on your stories vertical text is another little design element we often forget about and this one is so simple but definitely eye-catching and let's really all you're going to do is you're going to type in a letter hit the return key and then add some spaces type in the letter again until you have a design much the same as this so as you can see I was spelling out the word earplugs and then in between the letters I decided to add a couple of little dots in various different sizes and I think this is just a really cool story idea not only because it's easy peasy lemon squeezy but because it really stands out and it's just something different from what you're used to seeing another any cool creative idea is adding some transparent blocks to your stories and all you're gonna do is put in a punctuation mark add a bunch of spaces punctuate again and then just click on that icon in the top left-hand corner and tell it on the transparency mode then just select whatever color you want so I'm going for this green color and then all you do is scale up the block so that you can't see any of the punctuation marks and now you have a really cool transparent block that you can place anywhere on your stories you can add some more if you want so again I'm just making another one but I'm choosing a slightly different color so that when I overlay it you can see the variations in color you also don't have to make these blocks transparent you can keep them solid or do whatever it is you want until you are super happy with the design of your stories so by me I'm just adding some text and here's just another example of how you can use these transparent blocks to add some visual interest to stories and make them stand out of it I also love how you can layer these and just get some different effects so try this one out guys [Music] then on the topic of some transparent designs what you can also do is once you've got a picture up head on over to the text icon then select the first letter of your word and again click on this button until you're on transparency mode select whatever color you think is gonna work best for your design so I was choosing various red colors and I was spelling out the word YouTube so you're just going to repeat this process but every time you choose another letter just choose a slightly different color and then once you place the letters next to each other you'll get this kind of colored transparency effect and I just think this looks so cool and it's completely different to what you normally see on Instagram and as you can see this is a super easy designed to do and can all be done within the Instagram app no second react needed and then here's just another example of how cool this looks if you enjoyed this video then don't forget to Like and subscribe or you can check out some of my other Instagram videos
