How to Make a Photo Cube

When making a photo cube, you will definitely want photos that have been printed on photo paper rather than copier or printer paper. You can certainly make your cube with regular paper, but photo paper is sturdier and hold up better to decoupaging.

Photo Cube Supplies

Here is a list of supplies that I used to make my photo cubes.

• 6 photos of your choice (I used HP Advanced Photo Paper)
• 4-inch solid wood blocks
• Black acrylic craft paint
• Sandpaper
• Mod Podge matte finish
• Foam applicator
• Paintbrush

These particular photo cubes went to three different people and they all loved them! I made them for my daughter, one of my sons and my daughter’s newly engaged friend.
