Flipping Photo Cubes Step-by-Step Tutorial

[@kjdance1]

Omg you’re angel! I was so confused on how to make it because I thought everyone was cutting through the tape!

So - in metric, the photos are 7cm x 7cm (4 off) and 14cm x 7cm (4 off). I inserted my images into MS Word then I used the 'crop' feature (Picture Format Toolbar) with the above measurements, then I placed the crop box to suit the images. After placing them all on 2 pages, I converted the Word doc to a PDF (for easier printing with no crazy formatting) then I printed them on A4 page labels (ie the whole A4 page is one big label), but T really think normal 80gsm paper would be suffice (as Julie says in the vid). I still used PVA glue to stick them down (especially the corners), but I found if you make the images slightly less like 6.98cm and 13.98cm the corners don't pull up after each turn. It pays to let the glue dry on each photo first, and applying pressure (esp on the corners), before cutting too.

I've been seeing these for years and always wanted a good tutorial. This one is amazing and I'm totally making this for mother's day

[@roryharper9889]

Giving this to my boyfriend for our six month anniversary today...hope he'll like it! Also, I used photos on regular photo print and glue obviously and while it didn't flip as easily, it still worked. It wasn't exactly a disaster as she described it, but it could've gone better. Great video though!

[@tamarsmith583]

Rory Harper what size photos did you use ?

[@jennajustwatches]

Tamar Smith use four 2x2 photos & four 4x2 photos. you can just upload your photos on a google doc & click on the photo and click “image options” then click “size and rotation” and in the size type the dimensions. that way you can print them through your printer on paper

[@reaganwilson3537]

Y’all still together?

[@helpimlost8166]

Lady, thank you very much. I wanted to such a thingy as a gift for my girlfriend and every video i watched was so confusing and everything. Im so glad i found your video.

[@charleshannger5972]

Where did you go to print it off

[@helpimlost8166]

@@charleshannger5972 my printer at home but u can maybe use a printer at your workplace or at a printing shop idk gl mate

[@powo_bop]

It’s funny because everyone is stealing this

[@miriampastori9088]

An amazing idea. Thanks for the clear instructions, and the time you spent for helping us!

[@daringdaisies]

Thank you so much for a detailed, well-explained tutorial! Perfect video. Can’t wait to try this!

[@BalzerDesigns]

You're welcome!

[@gsxerwhite]

Hahaha "DO NOT CUT THE TAPE". Seriously though thank you for the great explanation on how to do this right. I'm making one for my 6 year old daughter with pictures of her with her mom and I. I'm sure she's gonna love it!

[@bhavaniram6979]

That was a very good tutorial. I’ve been searching this for a while

[@TLSf553]

This really is the best video ive seen this far. Thanks a lot, will try as soon as i get me some cubes :)

[@kylierae6453]

if i were to print photos what size should i print? thanks for your time

[@noasuiker]

It depends on the size of the wooden cubes. If you have cubes of 1 inch your square pictures should be 4x4 inch.

[@melodyvergara4043]

If you use 1in it would be 4×2 for landscape 2×2 for square

[@sophieweller6389]

How to you measure the thing to the exact perfect size if you are printing it from the computer

[@kambriarice9679]

I use Google Docs. If you go to Insert and then Drawing, you can add a guide on the ruler and size the picture to those guides.

[@ruthluther9577]

wow, glad you could figure the instructions out. thanks another wow, great idea

[@livbxr]

Where can I get this special paper?

[@gravyz2cute4u]

Looks like it's just normal printer/copy paper that she's stamped on and printed photos on. If you're talking about the adhesive sticker paper, you can usually find it or something similar at an office supply store or craft shop.

[@tomtomcasugay8349]

What is the size of the pictures needed?

[@jamdejumo1444]

Would be doing this once my blocks arrived..planning to give this as a gift.😍😍😍 thanks for this vid it less complicated than what i saw earlier..

[@avaguepy1061]

my cubes come in tonight SOO EXITED!

[@mimidymzjujuackerts8313]

Omg

[@jdcogar180]

Very cute and your instructions are very clear. Thanks!

[@54sq]

Thanks. Just got my blocks from a great place and am giving it a go this weekend. Bought extra blocks! Will let you know how it goes!

[@calluzmameme2680]

How did it go?

[@mimidymzjujuackerts8313]

[@ctondola80]

Question: can you glue pictures to it then use modge podge over it or would that ruin it. Also would you cut before or after the modge podge

[@isidrapowell5346]

ctondola80 i think it could work if you did modge podge then did the cuts

i tried it so many times and it was just waste of tapes😂😂

[@ivybell8520]

Yeah I’m making this gift for my friends and I watched the 5 minute craft video and I actually failed and ended up crying. Then my sister send me your video and it literally hyped so much thank you so much!

[@kavitasuthar4065]

This is so nice. I'd love to try it out. Can we use kores white glue to stick the paper on wood? I tried looking for tacky & sili glue around but didn't get. Which else do u recommend? Plz help me out

[@kavitasuthar4065]

I made this & afer 2 days, lines started showing on the pics. I mean there is a way of cutting the pics yh, not all are cut from 4 sides. Where there's cellotape, we don't cut the pic & when u fold the cubes a crack type line starts showing. Plz help me out.

[@dancer0042dia]

How do you make 2x2 photos that are rectangular and 2x2 square ones? I don’t think a place like cvs does photos that small

[@lala2010fasho]

I had my tape wrong....THANK YOU🎉🎉🎉❤

[@kittikatOwO]

[@akshaybud9944]

finally ive found a good explanation fr doing ths..after watchng almst 10 videos..thnkyu so much.."subcribed" DONE :)

[@nigelkong799]

thank you so much!! im gonna make this for my best friend that i like and yea im sure she will like it :D

[@lolno1155]

thats so funny that you made this because of five minute crafts because I got here due to them aswell. I made an origami version of these when I was like 9 and I am excited that I am inspired to make a flipping cube for my boyfriend for either christmas or our one year coming up in February. :)

[@aida6164]

I made this cube a while back, and then came back today for the xyron machine! I’ve been thinking of starting my own business

[@screaminmimi330]

How could something so magical be so easy? Fantastic video - simple instructions and great explanations! Can't wait to try this! Thanks! 💖

[@abbymcbride9947]

Would you suggest using decoupage over the pictures to prevent wear and tear on the photos over time?

[@oliviabaumgartner903]

How could you do the pictures if you don’t have sticker thing

[@kathyggillikin5999]

Well done! Thank you. This is the first one I fully understand. Have you ever sealed each individual edge/surface with something like ModPodge to keep the edges from coming up with use?

[@BalzerDesigns]

I don't use Mod Podge. If you want to use a sealer try Matte Medium: amzn.to/2B44guc

[@jellibeanz44]

Balzer Designs I was going to ask the same thing. Is there a reason you don’t use ModPodge? Or is it just preference?

[@CraftsbyX]

I printed my photos at Walgreens is that OK?

[@magda9320]

What a nice and clear tutorial thank you so much👍🤗 i am going to make 2 of these to give them to my parents for christmas🤗🤗🌲

How did u get he pictures to be the right measurements ??

Hello, may I k ow what kind of wood did you use for the cubes? Thank you

[@123monamie]

Thank you for explaining this. I have tried to do these so many times with disastrous results. Hopefully now it will turn out like yours!

[@katttnettt]

For some reason, I cannot get the dang photos to stick to the actual cube. If I handle it at all, the photos start to pop off. I’m using spray adhesive cuz it said on the back that it could be used for attaching photos but it’s not working. What else could I use to get them to stay adhered to the cube?

[@ladonnademarce5029]

Maybe you can Mod Podge them back on???

[@BalzerDesigns]

Print the photos on plain paper, not on photo paper.

can you tell me what the scotch (tape)you use for the wooden cube and what the material of paper?

I'm so confused... I'm following the directions exactly and it's not working? it doesn't fold in the same ways as the video

Thank you so much, Julie! I was looking for one more project for my middle school students for their PhotoShop Unit! Yay! I totally think they can handle it. What a great way to display multiple images. Cheers!

I guess you could use gel medium to seal the photos and to add durability.

Hi

[@gracieladeoliveirarichters5817]

Really easy and beautiful

[@garimavarshneya7162]

You cut the photos shorter than the cubes .The sides of the cubes were visible .Was that on purpose? Is that also a tip? Other than that all your tips are really helpful ! Loved the video ❤️

[@liliana1lfr]

Don't cut thru the tape, don't cut thru the tape (instructions to self, when I look back on this. I'd be the first.) And use copy weight paper. Such a very fun, and photo practical gift.

[@rosem9751]

What kind of tape did you use? I bought 2x2 wooden cubes to do this with my students but it’s not working out too well😔

[@soundwave6218]

This is cool💚 Have fun trying this with your Family😁this will give them something to do

OMG thank you so much. I was following the other video, but yours is so much better. I love how you walk us through each part and show us the different cuts we have to make. Very clear and easy-to-follow!

[@יעלצברי-מ6נ]

On what paper should I print the photos? Maybe an Amazon or an eBay link for the product?

hi I loved this gave it to my teacher ,it just took really long because I didn't use the sticker machine that she, used but overall it was nice. she gave really good instructions also .

So if we dont use the sticker machine do we just glue the picture on and cut it like her or what's the other way
