Weekend Hashtag Project: #WHPmini

Weekend Hashtag Project is a series featuring designated themes and hashtags chosen by Instagram’s Community Team. For a chance to be featured on the Instagram blog, follow @instagram and look for a post every week announcing the latest project.

Small is cute but mini is irresistible — like this featured photo of tiny teacups from Kiyomi (@chiisanashiawase2015). This weekend, the goal is to take photos and videos of all manner of mini objects and creatures. Here are some tips to get you started:

The miniature trend is alive and well. Are you an artist who makes itty-bitty masterpieces out of polymer clay and paint? Show off some of your favorite creations.

Take a video of your younger sibling who mimics your every move, a new puppy following around its mother or the little things in your world that make you go, “Aww!”

Compare something micro to something massive to better illustrate its size — like a sapling at the base of a giant redwood tree or an ice cream challenge next to a single scoop.
