I made one. I got the frames at non other than Walmart for $3 each! They were what I was looking for b/c they had two 4x6 mats in each frame. Granted I had to paint them from black to white but if you want black frames these may work!

Click on my name to the right to see the pic of mine.

Good luck! This is such a hard project to make!

Michaels has tons of frames all in the 8 x 10 size..flat black ones as well. I got them for $9/frame.

I am in the process right now (I have one side left). I got my frames at Joanns for about 5 bucks each. I didn't 'mat' anything, because I made mine a little different (not all sides has photos of us) and I couldn't find mats I liked that would work with the stuff I was putting into the frames.

so far i found the frames at ac moore they were on sale 33% off so four frames came to 15$ they were 11x14

i also saw them at Big lots as well 2 for 6$ so that would have made them 12$

i just have to get the rest of the supplies now.

Re: photo cube

FH and I are making ours... while in AC Moore, he found a wooden square flower box. We bought that, he cut a piece of plywood for the top and bottom and for the top, cut a slot out for the cards to slide into. WE bought big pieces of matting to frame the pictures cause the box is an odd size, so he'll cut those to fit the openings. I bought the material and padding at JoAnn's last weekend on sale..... I took some pics, but haven't uploaded them yet and I still have to stain it. So far so good tho!
