Photo Cube With Pizzazz

Why

Decorate a plastic photo cube with Crayola Squeezables™ 3-D Paint and your favorite photos, drawings, and mementoes. A cube means you have six times the fun!

Steps

1. Decide how you want to design your photo cube. You need at least six items. Combine photographs, your own art, mementoes such as tickets, or cutouts from recycled cards or magazines—whatever you like!

2. Carefully take apart the picture cube. Use the paper template in the cube to trace around your pictures or other paper with a Crayola Colored Pencil. If you like, add drawings or words with Crayola Markers inside each square.

3. With a Crayola Cutter, follow the package directions to cut out your images. You can make interior cuts, too, to remove clutter from your pictures. As needed, attach your cutouts to paper squares with a Crayola Glue Stick.

4. Reassemble the photo cube. Use Crayola Squeezables™ 3-D Paint to decorate the outside. Write words, make designs, or outline pictures. If you change your mind, just wipe off the wet paint with a paper towel. Decorate five sides of the cube and air-dry them for at least an hour.

5. Finish decorating the last side and air-dry it. Display your cube or wrap it for a gift.
