Magic folding photo cube assembly step by step

Magic folding photo cube assembly step by step instructions and for those of you that like words and pictures, I have documented it here using detailed photos and instructions! So read on to discover how to create your very own DIY magic photo cube. Step 1: Get your equipment ready. The first thing you will need to assemble this photo cube is eight standard sized wooden blocks each with an individual sheet of plywood attached onto the block. The next items you will need are; a strong yet flexible rubber band; two large sheets of card and printer paper, scissors, glue sticks, double-sided tape, safety pin and a hobby knife.personalised moon lamp

For this project you will also need a large assortment of photographs and special moments such as your graduation or wedding. Have your photos ready to print, these are perfect for the photo cubes. Once you have your photos printed onto a piece of photo paper, stick them onto the blocks making sure they are face down. The reason for this is so that you can easily remove the stickers from the back of the blocks by hand or by using a flat head screwdriver.

For the next part you will need to line up the card and paper onto the front and back of the blocks. Using a double-sided tape measure and a pencil, mark the positions of the blocks. Marking is important because it helps you form a layout for your photo cube according to the dimensions you have marked down. This can be done by simply tracing around the edges of the blocks and placing the measurements where you want the photo to be printed. Once you have done this, you can then glue the pieces together and use your safety pin to hold them together.

It is time to place the blocks onto the glass plate. There are two ways to do this. You can either use a hot glue gun, which is effective but can be messy, or you can use a double sided tape. If you are using a hot glue gun, be sure to use one that is appropriate for the size of your photo cube. You will also want to carefully apply the glue to ensure that it is even and spreads across the whole surface of the glass plate evenly.

Next, you will need to know how you want the photo cube to open up when you lift the lid. You do this by rotating the entire cube to the left, so that photo moves from the top side to the side where you intend it to go, then lifting it. Once you have the lid open, you will want to slide the spacer through the opening on the side. The spacer should be centered with the photo so that everything stays evenly spaced.

Now you simply repeat the process as you need to, so that you can rotate the photo cube as you need to. Make sure that you do not miss any of the sides. Remember, when you have the photo centered, you can now slide the spacer through the hole in the bottom of the cube so that it is now centered. Then you simply repeat the process as you need to for each individual piece.acrylic lamp

In addition to providing special moments with the perfect photo for your cube, you also have the option of including additional items with your photo. This can include a photograph or a phrase that is meaningful to you or the person in your life. For example, if you have a beloved pet, you can use the photo of your pet to create a beautiful and meaningful cube. You can also have several blocks that relate to different hobbies and interests. For instance, if you are a fan of sports for two, you could make a photo frame with a baseball or soccer ball and two small wooden blocks representing the sport - one each for the top and bottom of the cube, then add a photo of the happy couple.

When making these wonderful photo blocks, you can use the two blocks at the bottom, one large square and two small squares to become one long rectangular block. You can then add four small squares across the bottom of the long rectangular block, and two equally spaced squares to form four equal sides of the square. Use scissors or an X-Acto knife to cut along the right side and bottom of the square so that they match the alignment of the photo. Then, you can glue the top right corner down to join the other corners, and you are finished. These are just a few ideas for you to try, but here is a simple and easy pattern that you can experiment with.photo keyrings australia
