14 ideas to creatively caption your posts |

Sometimes writing captions for social media can be an incredibly monotonous task – especially if you’re planning out a month or more of content in advance. So here are a few different ways you can write your captions to keep your content fresh.

1. Tell a story

Today I took balloons and treats to my son’s Kindergarten class for his birthday. We sang happy birthday to him, and then each child who could speak a different language sang to him individually. 7 different languages were represented! It was so precious. I came home and made these petal balloons, heart so full.

3. Ask a question

4. Make an announcement

Guys! I’ve donated a custom “Mushroom Cluster Skull” to the auction happening TONIGHT for @auctionforjanuary. That means if you win, you get to design your own one of these guys with me! 😄 🍄 💀 #TriangleOfBears #auction #auctionforjanuary #skull #mushrooms #mushroompin #skullpin #custom #pin #brooch #handmade #fauxleather #veganleather #fundraiser #cancertreatment #fightcancer

8. Give some backstory

I’ve probably mentioned before that I’m a bit of a perfectionist. …so knowing that I could do better than my first Day 12 painting meant I did. 💙💜💚 .. . …. .. #happyfriday #tgif #studiotime #100daysofpainting #the100dayproject #creativesclub100days
