Make Your Own Photo Cubes

Level of Difficulty: Easy - Minimal Parental Supervision Required
Estimated Completion Time: 20 minutes per block
Theme: Make Your Own, Photo Crafts


Do you want an original way to display photos of the people you love?  You can create a miniature changeable photo gallery with pictures of all your favorite family and friends using wood blocks that you used to play with when you were very little (or you can purchase wood cubes at a craft store.)   Gather up some patterned paper and glue and you're ready to go.

We will show you a step-by-step way to cover the cubes and assemble a stacking gallery and give you ideas about a variety of ways to decorate the blocks. 

When you are done, we'd love to see your artwork. Please go to our gallery and upload your finished masterpiece! We can't wait to see it! If you like to Blog, send us a comment and tell us about your
experience!
