Photo Cube Ornament

1. Trim painted paper to a 12" x 12" square.

2. Fold diagonal with painted design on the outside. Fold the opposite diagonal.

3. Fold in half with painted design inside.

4. Once you have folded the cube, blow into the top hole so that the paper will expand into a cube shape. Cut out collage images and adhere to cube by applying gel medium with a foam brush.

5. Tie a piece of ribbon, hemp cord or twine around the cube like you are wrapping a gift to create a hanging ornament.
