, Craft
- 3 3x4" photographs (copies)
- 3 3x4" pieces of paper (I used DCWV recycled paper
)

- paint brush
- paper trimmer
1. Cut a photograph into 12 1" squares.
2. Adhere the squares to the wood blocks by placing one Craft Glue Dot® into the center of each square and Mini Glue Dots® on each corner.
3. Repeat Steps 1 & 2 with the remaining photographs and paper.
4. Gently sand the edges of each wood block. (This is optional, but will help clean up the edges and mask imperfections.)
5. Brush a light coat of decoupage onto the blocks to seal them and let dry. Repeat if necessary.
