My husband is a fan of the Rubiks Cube, so when I spotted the dollar store version store a few weeks ago I immediately knew what I would be making for his upcoming birthday — a customized photo cube!  I can also see this being done with scrapbook paper or maybe even fabric.  (Of course *I* would think fabric!!)

UPDATE:  Hey, it was just called to my attention that there is another (in my opinion, better!) tutorial for custom Rubiks cubes out there!  Check out Anne’s tutorial here!

Project Estimate:

  • “Magic Cube,” $1
  • photos, on hand
  • ModPodge, on hand

Total: $1

    Care, this is an awesome idea! Don’t ask me why but I was thinking of getting a Rubix cube for my little boy. Then realized he’s too young for it, but with the photos, that would still be cool for him. I love this!
