Welcome to the final segment of my 3 part ‘Back to College’ series. I know, I’m sad too. 🙁 I previously, showed you guys how to DIY a Rustic Photo Display and a Giant Mouse Pad. For this last DIY, we will be creating Photo Blocks! Don’t worry, you don’t have to make 3 like I did. Even one of these blocks will add a level of unique personalization to any part of your room.
DIY PHOTO BLOCKS
Materials
- 3.5 x 3.5 wooden blocks
- 3 x 3 square photos
- acrylic paint
- matte modge podge
- paint brush
- scissors
- letters (optional)
Step One:
Paint your wooden blocks with the acrylic paint.
Step Two:
Once your paint has dried, place your first photo in the center on one side of the block.
Step Three:
Use a paintbrush to apply Modge Podge over the photo and cover the entire side of the block. Be sure to use a generous amount. Allow the Modge Podge to completely dry, before moving to the other sides of the block.
Optional:
I chose to add the letters of my name to the side of this DIY, but this step is completely optional. Instead of using an additional photo, I used a letter. I applied E6000 glue to the back of the letter and placed it onto the side of the block. Hold for 30 seconds.
Yes, I made two posts in one day! Check out 5 Creative Photo Arrangements!
Fabulous post. I’m definitely going to be trying that out with my family. Thank you for sharing. I’ll pin it for later.
Great idea … might give it a whirl myself!

These are so cute! My mom is so obsessed with little DIY art projects like this, so I will definitely be trying this out with her! 🙂

DIY versions make them more memorable! When I saw my cousin did one for herself, I think it had an effect on me to remember that specific photo she used in there
Oh what a cute idea! I may have to try this out sometime, thanks!
