7. Print out 6 of your favourite photos. Draw and cut out a 4 x 4cm square around the subject in each photo.

8. Cut out 4 x 4cm squares from your chosen colours of cover paper. You will need 6 squares in total. We have chosen to use red and yellow paper.

9. Use a permanent pen to write a message or draw a picture onto your coloured squares.

You could also create a larger base to make multiple photo towers in one! Leave enough space between each tower so the cubes can spin. It’s perfect for any desktop or workspace!

10. Insert a wooden skewer into the clay base piece so the pointed end is facing up. Glue the skewer in place and allow to dry.

11. Glue a photo to one coloured side

of your cube. Glue a second photo to the opposite side, making sure they are facing the same direction. Repeat for the remaining two cubes.

12. Glue the coloured paper squares to the remaining coloured sides of your cubes. Allow to dry.

13. Place a cube onto the skewer so it is pierced through the centre of the cube. Push the cube down so it sits on top of the base.

14. Thread a grey bead onto the skewer so it sits on top of the first cube.

15. Repeat steps 13 and 14 until you get to the last bead. Use glue to secure the last bead in place. Allow to dry.

You can spin the cubes around to view all sides!
