How to make photo blocks | Better Homes and Gardens

Carefully cut out all your printed photos, both colour and black and white.

Using a paintbrush, apply a coat of Mod Podge to one face of raw pine cube at a time. Allow to dry.

Apply another  coat of Mod Podge, one face at a time, and centre  a colour photo on each. Leave one face bare. 

Using a roller, apply a coat of Mod Podge to each photo to seal. Let dry.

Write a message  on bare face in black Sharpie. Let dry, then seal with Mod Podge. 

On a new cube, apply 2 coats of two-in-one paint and sealer to all cube faces with a paintbrush, sanding between coats if needed. Let dry after coats. 

Using a paintbrush, apply Mod Podge to a painted cube face and centre a black and white photo on top. Leave to dry.

Repeat to attach  a black and white photo to each cube face except one. 

Write a message  on remaining cube face in white liquid paint marker. Leave to dry, then apply  1-2 coats of Mod Podge to all cube faces with a roller.
