How to Make Folding Photo Cube : DIY : Great gift idea! 

Does anybody else find it so satisfying to watch her flip that cube?

Great DIY honestly just finished making this for my GF B-day tips for anyone who tries this -A carpet cutter works as long as the blade is sharp and thin -A fan helps dry the glue a littler faster -Make sure you wait for the glue to dry don't rush it -Print a few copies of your 10 photos in case you have to restart -Scissors work for trimming the edges although slightly rough -Follow and rewatch the clips from her vid as needed do exactly as she does and if you missed a cut or didn't understand which side she was saying pay attention to the side she originates from and how that compares to yours

For those struggling with cube alignment of the cubes, it is 100x easier to assemble the cubes first with tape, and then add the photos once assembly is complete. The also prevents you from using the physical photos as the hinges, which will crease them and make them look bad. Great video though!

Thankyou, I've watched many different puzzle photo cube d.i.y. vids or infinity photo cubes, this is the most straight forward tutorial and easier than the others. Good job.

Just made this for my 3-year anniversary gift and it came out great! So you saved the day haha thank you!

She explains so well where to cut.. I love that she used the dotted lines on where to cut. I made one for my boyfriend and he loved it. Thx

I’ve been looking everywhere for a tutorial on how to make these. I want to make one for my boyfriend for his birthday and now I know how to make them!!!!

This one blow my mind!!! Great video!!! Greetings from Chile

I love this!! If only I had a printer, or even a local print shop... It's my first christmas together with my partner and it'd be a great gift ahhhh

So cool! That's a lot of planning beforehand! Thanks for sharing ❤

this is freaking awesome, definitely making this for my 1 year anniversary

Clear concise instructions on video....definitely a keeper for doing for or with kids. Might be fiddly, definitely make sure you can re-use bricks if you screw up. Recommend vid !

You're so talented!! Everything you do blows my mind lol. You are so creative and talented more people should know about you

This is awesome. I'm not a very artistic person but this is something I can do since I like giving gifts that I made myself.

This is so cute, will definitely be making in the future!

I am so glad i watched this before I started trying to make one - THANK YOU!

I'm in the process of making these for all of my family members, that's 19 people + I'm gonna make one for myself. I ended up watching a similar video about this same project; where they taped the cubes together before adding the photos. This helped me a lot and it gives you a much better idea of where to cut. I bought the blocks on Amazon. I used Photoshop to crop and size the photos then, Illustrator to layout multiple photos on one page for printing. I went to art school, so I have a cutting mat, ruler (for straight cutting) and an xacto knife. I miscalculated how much glue I had, all I had was a glue stick and the glue dried before it even had a chance to stick to anything, plus I ran out pretty fast. That's when I went to Fry's to get more and saw they had rubber cement. I realized I still had some at home (art school again) I bought a bottle and was surprised how well it worked. You see rubber cement is meant to be used dry on dry so no need to wait for it to dry. Plus it's rubber so if you make a mistake or it gets in places its not needed it's easy to rub off.

That's cute. I'm going to have to try one of those sometime.

This just blew my mind! I can't wait to make one!

Omg you actually did it thank you since I saw this on instagram I have been wanting to make it ❤️ Thank you

I had it for my project and my teacher chose this video and sent it to us. Thanks!

Very cool and great job explaining!! I'm so gonna try this :)

Such a great diy I love this thank you!!!!!

i love your gifts ideas. pls more.

TIP YOU NEED!!!!!!!!: Let the glue COMPLETELY DRY! Or else, like mine, the photos will rip and come off!! Please let it dry for an amazing product!

This is such a cute idea that I need to try!

I'm blown away!

so creative omg

Love it 😍 keep watching it

That's such a great idea :o I might do one, it's so cool !

That IS Adorable!TYFS!!!

Great video and instructions!

You rock, merry christmas :)

This is really REALLY awesome!

😂 I love you aaand the string lights.

I ordered blocks on amazon but they were not all cut perfectly the same but I tried it anyways and I used glossy stock paper so that it looks nicer. I messed up on both parts because I could not see where the lines were on the block I had to poke it flighty to find the line and since the cubes did not align perfectly the lines weren’t straight. Plus I used too much glue. So I tried it again but went to Home Depot and the cubes cut perfectly the same sizes and printed it out on regular printer paper at fedex office so I get a nicer color. I brushed a little glue on them like you did and it worked!

this was sooo helpful!! i’m making one for my friend, of course it looks shitty the first time but i’ll get better lol! ty

Wow, such good quality AND quantity! All your ideas are so original! :D you definitely deserve more subscribers.

Dude you're so talented why the hell. And pretty haha

I watched a lot of these Magic Cube videos and yours is the best! Thank you so much :-) did you think of using Modge Podge? I think that would rock!

Love it!!!!!

awsome gift

I've always wanted to make one of these! Very helpful (USA)

Lovely :) thank you for sharing

nice 😍 nice loved it

So cool

This is lovely!!! What an amazing thing to do for a gift. I have a question plz. I didn't get tacky glue/silli glue in any shop/online store. Could u plz recommend which other glue can be used to stick the printing paper (with pictures)on wood?

Hi, I'm not sure if you'll see this, but I wanted to say thank you for a great video. I thought it was easy to follow and fun to make. Sadly, the cubes I've made don't close very well. Did you glue all cubes flush with each other or with a little, tiny space to make it easier to cut through with the exacto knife? It's the only thing that was unclear and I think would make a difference...

I already one for my sister's birthday, it was kind of messy but its really cool

Hey! should I use a laser printer or an ink jet printer to print out the photos?

This blew my mind

Oh my goodness Rachael, that looks like so much fun and it’s so unique! 💞 Unfortunately I’m still trying to solve my Rubik’s Cube from 1980! You’re laughing but I’m serious. I’m definitely going to attempt to make one (or more) of your fabulous Photo Cubes! I only have one question; Is there any particular type of paper that you would recommend? I have Card Stock of different weights and Photographic Paper (Glossy and Matt). Thank you very much for another wonderful video. 💞👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I don’t understand how the cubes stay together

Nice it is very différent According to other photo frame😁☕

It’s Merry Christmas 🎁!!!!!!

this is the best thing in the world

omg it's explained so easily i thought this was like rocket science when i saw it on pinterest

That's awesome

wow cool !

Can u plzz add the accurate size of those wooden block!!!

Awesome!

Very pleasant to listen to ypur voice. But how many times can u fold regular paper like that before it breaks?

You are so talented and cute! ♥

Please let me know that from where i can have the cubes.. of same size especially..

Can I use cuter instead of xacto knife?

Love it

this is so cool and i would like to make this but it really seems sooooo hard

Would you recommend using UHU so that the pics do not fall?

in other videos it says to use tape, so should i use tape to hold the blocks together and make it more durable?

How long did it take for your glue to dry before you cut the photos?🤔🤔😀

Can i use 25mm size cube to make one? Also do advise to use board paper ?

The photos you use is it a photo paper or an ordinary paper?

This is the only video I've seen where someone knows where to point on the screen towards a link the viewers can see

What sizes are your cubes?

what kind of glue did you use?what brand??

It's REALLY cool but can we draw on it?

How long do you usually have to let the glue dry for?

Will this still work with actual printed pictures instead of regular paper ?

+chezlin Hi! I'm not sure if you'll see this comment, but I wanted to let you know that I ended up making this project the day before Christmas for my parents. They did end up really liking it, but it was kind of a struggle to make. I had to go to 3 different stores, and none of them had wood cubes. I got really lucky because I went to Joannes fabrics last, and just as I was about to give up on the idea I decided to go to the Dollar Tree next door to it, and I found some children's building blocks there! Anyways, I used modpodge to glue the pictures on & it worked alright. I also put some on top of the pictures as well because I wanted to seal them, and it worked alright, but made it a bit harder to cut through. I thought most of your instructions were pretty good, but I did end up messing up & cutting the wrong part at the end with the last 2 pictures. I thought the instructions were a little vague at 4:58 I wasn't sure which side you were talking about, and I cut the opposite of what I should have. I was really frustrated & at the point of tears that the hours of shopping & work I put into this were ruined, and my mom ended up coming in & asking if I was ok. She encouraged me to keep trying, and even though it wasn't a surprise anymore, I decided to try & fix it. I ended up taping the parts I cut together & it worked! They really liked it when I presented the finished product & were surprised with how the cube worked. Thanks so much for the diy! It ended up being a great present!

The first time u pull apart the pictures, is it suppose to pull apart to have 2 separate parts or is it all supposed to be connected?

I’ve done this twice some here’s some helpful tips . Seal with mode podge cause the corners peel .be berry gentle it’s really fragile .LET THE GLUE DRY!!! I was very impatient so i didn’t let it dry so it became soggy and rips the paper .do not glide when cutting across because it rips the paper on the side, instead stab it in and out . If confused about cutting draw it out step by step . Don’t use a lot of glue

I want to do this as a gift to my best friend for christmas

Wow!

Some questions plz 1. Do use normal printing paper for this? 2. What glue do you use to stick pictures to wood? 3. Can we use mod podge to seal the pictures so they don't come off after some time?

how do I print the pictures the size I want to print them..? im kind of an idiot sorry.

This is so long after the video, and I’m sure it was answered, but… what size cubes did you purchase? I didn’t hear it in the video, and I’m trying to figure out the sizing. Thank you!

Love it!
