Did you know that Instagram has nearly three billion people visiting its website monthly? Many people who spend time on Instagram are focused on creating an aesthetically pleasing feed that captures followers.
For me, Instagram has always been a form of entertainment, and as an artist, I love finding beautiful art from around the world to save and share with friends. But lately, I’ve begun having fun in a whole new way by creating editable Instagram post templates. Continue reading to find out how I have fun and see the designs I’ve made!
What’s Awesome About Canva Free
Canva Free is easy to use, fun, and, best of all, free! I discovered Canva earlier this year. As someone who’s struggled to get the hang of Adobe apps, I was immediately hooked. I had the Canva Pro for a few months because I wanted to try all of the elements I liked, but I quickly realized the free content was just as great. The ability to create website banners, social media posts and digital planners are fantastic. I felt like I could get creative and bring some of my digital design concepts alive.
Crafting Digital Designs and Editable Instagram Post Templates
Once I felt like I got Canva down, I fell down a rabbit hole, finding Instagram post template designs created entirely in Canva! I’m not an influencer or IG famous in any way, with a small following of around 200-ish. I love to post pictures of where I live (San Francisco) and share my poetry.
When I started creating captivating Instagram post templates for my poetry, I wanted to make more. After some research, I discovered that hundreds of people design templates and sell them on Etsy. Well, now, this sounds like fun.

How to Have Fun and Create Instagram Post Templates
I’m a writer and spend most of my free time writing, reading, or researching writing techniques and methods, you name it. But after a while, it’s nice to take a break and do something creative with no strings attached.
For the past few months, I’ve sliced out about four to five hours a week of free time to play around and have fun in Canva. To give myself something specific to focus on, I created Instagram post templates with specific themes using elements that I like.
What happened? I’m having a blast! So far, I’ve created three themed Instagram post template packs, and making each one allowed me to relax and have fun in a way I haven’t been able to in a long time.
