1. You’ll need a standard Rubik’s Cube.  These can be found at many dollar stores or even in the dollar bins at several craft stores.

2. Choose six photos of the person you are gifting, their family or even some of their favorite things. 

3. Using your photo editing software, resize your images so that they correspond to the measurements of your Rubik’s cube (they do vary in size!). I chose to recolor my images as well, for fun and to make it a little less challenging for my 8 year old nephew, but this is optional. 

4. Print your photos on adhesive backed paper.

5. Then measure your squares on the cube and cut your photo into equal number and sized squares as those that make up your cube

6.  Remove the backing from your adhesive paper and apply each of the pieces onto the cube revealing your picture. 

7. Repeat steps 5 & 6 with each of the six photos and you will have a fully functional photo Rubik’s cube! 

If you don’t have photo editing software then you have two options (1). You can download a free 30 day trial of Photoshop Elements 8 here or you can simply crop down your 4x6 photos and apply your own adhesive to each individual square--paying close attention to the corners and edges to prevent lifting.
