Photo Blocks: an easy DIY craft project that uses your favorite family pictures and turns them into beautiful decor for your house!
I love finding simple crafts that add a personal touch to my home. The problem is that I have a tendency towards complete unoriginality when it comes to crafting. Give me a pattern or a template, and I do just fine. Ask me to come up with an idea? Probably won’t happen.
Luckily, my friend, Lisa, has an abundance of amazing craft ideas…and she loves to share her talents. This week, she’s got a tutorial for adorable DIY photo blocks.
I love that Lisa created a craft tutorial that is so easy that even the most craft-challenged of us can create something personalized and unique. Make them to decorate the shelves in your family room or give them as a gift. You could even make holiday-specific photo blocks to decorate for your favorite celebrations.
Now the question is…what photos would you put on your photo blocks??
Gather these supplies and follow the step-by-step instructions below to make your own photo block craft:

These are so cute – I love that you can use them anywhere. Thank you for sharing at Share It One More Time. Cathy
Great idea. Sharing over at Sunday Features FB page today. Thanks for linking up with us! And…great tutorial overall! Thanks again!
What a great idea, and a good way to breathe new life into photo gifts. Thanks for the simple how-to.
I love these and thought it would be fun to put the ABC’s on one side then photos of animals etc on the other. You could make the blocks all the same size or different sizes for building
I love this! I enjoy doing crafts as long as there not too difficult. Would love to make one with pics of my 3 grandsons.
That’s pretty easy even for me. Comes out so well.
This is so adorable! I need to make some of these!
