You can change the color with the Effects Tool or use fabric or foam board. These are just a few of the techniques to get the coolest backgrounds on Instagram. You may also use your computer&#8217;s eraser tool, or try using a fabric or foam board. The possibilities are endless, but these are just a few of them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_the_background_color\"><\/span>Change the background color<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To change the background color of your Instagram posts, you can use the effects tool. Instagram comes with a preset color pattern, but you can also use the colors in the palette to change it to a custom color. To do this, you must shift your post to the left side of the screen and tap the sticker button. Then, you will see the color you want to change the background to. If you have the color of your brand, you can change it here as well.<\/p>\n<p>In order to change the background color of your Instagram stories, you can follow the steps outlined below. First, you need to add a new post to your story. After this, you can select a picture and resize it. You can also change the color of the background area by tapping the pen tool or shade icon. Alternatively, you can also overlay a picture or camera roll sticker as the background color. Once you&#8217;ve chosen the color you&#8217;d like, you can then choose the background color.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_the_eraser_tool\"><\/span>Use the eraser tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to get creative with your Instagram photos, the eraser tool is a great new addition. This tool allows you to use bold color to flood the screen with a splash of cool background design. Then, you can use the eraser tool to weed out objects and reveal parts of your photo or video. Using this tool can help you achieve artistic effects that are not possible with other editing tools.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in using the eraser tool is to tap the color you want to change. Instagram will set the background color based on the general color of your post. But, you can change it manually. To do so, open the top panel of your Instagram app, tap &#8216;Draw&#8217;, then tap &#8216;Sharpie&#8217;. Next, tap on the color you want to use for your Instagram story and select it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_fabric\"><\/span>Use fabric<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to use a consistent background, try using a scarf as a backdrop. A scarf can be hung on a wall or flat surface using fabric tape or velcro. You can switch out different scarves in your photos for different looks. A scarf is a great option for those who want to keep their outfits simple but still want to show off their products. Here are some examples.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use a piece of fabric to create an Instagram background. Various fabrics have different textures and designs. For a more personal touch, you can use a blanket or clothing item. If you don&#8217;t have one, you can purchase one or make your own. Either way, make sure you add texture to the background! Images with high texture have 79% more likes! And the benefits aren&#8217;t limited to just fabrics.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_foam_board\"><\/span>Use foam board<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a cheap and easy way to add a fun background to your Instagram photos, try using a foam board. These are often available in different colours and sizes and are perfect for photos of people, products, or other content. Try getting one in a light colour to start, as lighter images typically get 24% more likes on Instagram. You can also try getting one in a darker colour if you wish. Either way, you should choose a neutral colour.<\/p>\n<p>Another great way to create a cool Instagram background is to use nature. Try using grass, flowers, or the sky. These are all great for giving a background a natural look and feel. Make sure to use blue water instead of red or orange, as these will attract more Instagram followers. You can even get some food to use as a backdrop, if you&#8217;re lucky enough to live near a park or lake.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"211\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZW_l6j5-ehI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"378\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Get Cool Backgrounds on Instagram So you&#8217;ve created an amazing story, but how do you change the background?
