Directions to make Wooden Photo Block
Tip: Often wood is listed as 4″ x 4″ fence post, but in reality it measures 3.5″ x 3.5″ so be mindful of this when choosing and cutting photos for your project.
1. Use white glue to attach the wood balls onto the bottom of the cube. Let set to dry completely.
2. Paint the cube and feet as desired. I decided to paint 2 sides red and 2 sides pink. Let dry completely. A second coat may be necessary depending on the type of paint you sue.
3. Use a paper trimmer to cut your photos about 3/4″ smaller than the cube.
4. Attach photos to the cube with white glue or hot glue. Let set to dry.
5. Add embellishments such as scrabble tiles, foam heart stickers and ribbon. Affix with white glue or hot glue.
This Wooden Photo Block is so cute and can be personalized for so many different things!
