Perfect Father’s Day Gift from your Kids

Looking for the perfect Father’s Day present? This six-piece desktop decoration showcases family photos on two sides when it’s assembled and doubles as a brainteaser when Dad needs a distraction.

You will need:

• 6 (1 1/2-inch) wooden cubes
• Acrylic paints and paintbrushes
• Rubber band
• Thin black marker
• 2 photos (3×5 or 4×6)
• Double-sided adhesive sheets
• Scissor
• X-Acto knife
• Letter stickers (optional)

How To:

1. Paint the sides of each cube, leaving the top and bottom bare.
2. When they’re dry, arrange them in a rectangle, unpainted sides up, and wrap a rubber band around them to hold them together.
   

   Step 2

   Using the marker, trace the rectangle onto the picture side of each photo, making sure everyone’s faces fit within the rectangle. Apply a double-sided adhesive sheet to the back of each photo and cut along the tracing lines. Peel off the adhesive’s backing and adhere one photo to the top of the cubes and one to the bottom (since it’s a bit tricky, it’s a parent’s job).

3. Divide the photos by cutting along the edges of the cubes with the X-Acto knife (another job for a parent). Add letter stickers if desired.
