title: "Kid Craft: Photo Cube"
description: Creating a photo cube from 12” x 12” paper is easy enough for small children to do, but fun enough for tweens and teens. Using Removable Glue Dots® to attach photos, means you can make the box once, but switch out the photos as many times as you’d like! It’s the perfect summer boredom buster, room décor, or handmade gift.

Creating a photo cube from 12” x 12” paper is easy enough for small children to do, but fun enough for tweens and teens. Using Removable Glue Dots® to attach photos, means you can make the box once, but switch out the photos as many times as you’d like! It’s the perfect summer boredom buster, room décor, or handmade gift.

![Kid Craft Photo Cube_horizontal copy](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/kids-crafts/Samantha%20/Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube_horizontal%20copy.jpg?width=725&name=Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube_horizontal%20copy.jpg)

**Made by:** Samantha Taylor

**Time:** 20 Minutes

**Level:** Quick and Easy

**Size:** 3” cube

  ![Kid Craft Photo Cube copy](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/kids-crafts/Samantha%20/Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube%20copy.jpg?width=725&name=Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube%20copy.jpg)

**Here's what you need:**

- [Removable Glue Dots®](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1017?plpver=1002)
- [Premium Permanent GlueTape](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/everyday/premium-permanent-gluetape?plpver=1002)
- 12” x 12” card stock or patterned paper
- Scoring Tool
- 3 – 8 photos

 

**Here's what you do:**

Score patterned paper at 3”, 6”, and 9”.

![Kid Craft Photo Cube-001 copy](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/kids-crafts/Samantha%20/Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube-001%20copy.jpg?width=725&name=Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube-001%20copy.jpg)  
Turn paper 90 degrees and Cut paper at 9”, 6”, and 3”. You should now have 4 strips of paper that are scored.

![Kid Craft Photo Cube-002 copy](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/kids-crafts/Samantha%20/Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube-002%20copy.jpg?width=725&name=Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube-002%20copy.jpg)  
Use Premium GlueTape to connect the last square on strip 1 to the first square on strip 2. Add more GlueTape to the connected strip and fold over to create a cube. Two ends will not be covered.

![Kid Craft Photo Cube-003 copy](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/kids-crafts/Samantha%20/Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube-003%20copy.jpg?width=725&name=Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube-003%20copy.jpg)  
Use Premium GlueTape to connect the last square on strip 3 to the first square on strip 4. Add more GlueTape to the connected strip and wrap around the cube you’ve already started making with strips one 1 and 2, taking care to cover the open ends.

![Kid Craft Photo Cube-004 copy](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/kids-crafts/Samantha%20/Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube-004%20copy.jpg?width=725&name=Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube-004%20copy.jpg)  
Use Removable Dots to attach photos to the cube. You can cover all the sides with photos, or just some of the sides.

![Kid Craft Photo Cube-005 copy](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/kids-crafts/Samantha%20/Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube-005%20copy.jpg?width=725&name=Kid%20Craft%20Photo%20Cube-005%20copy.jpg)

Customize your box with your favorite colored card stock or funky patterned paper. If you plan on making this for a gift, you may want to use Ultra-Thin Dots in place of Removable Dots.

My name is Samantha Taylor and I have a passion for combining crafting and creativity to beautify life. I live in a small town in rural Iowa with my husband and 2 boys (all 3 of whom you’ll see featured in my projects). I’m a paper crafting fanatic who also loves photography. I enjoy making lay outs, cards, mini albums and home decor items, party decorations, and crafting with my kids. My favorite thing about crafting is getting to connect with so many people all over the world who also love creating pretty things and preserving memories.
