Re: Please please...Need immediate PHOTO CUBE HELP!

you can get matts that are 8x10, but have holes cut out for 4x6... or, you can scan your photos into the computer and lay them out and print them onto 8x10 paper... does that makes sense... so all your photos are on one piece of photo paper...

Did you check the DIY forum? they have a few detailed instructions i think including what you are questioning about

I bought a precut mat from K_mart. AC moore and Michael's also sell precut matts.

Good Luck Kathleen - I give you credit on all of these DIY. I paid someone to make us our photocube and it came out awesome.

Wish I could help but I am the least crafty person in the world!

Sorry you're going through this Kathleen, we got the matting at AC Moore or Michaels.

Kathleen - For my 8x10 frames I bought two mats that had two openings for 4x6 pics, and 2 mats that had openings for 5x7 pics. I took two different 4x6 photos to Target and had them enlarged to 5x7, and then used 4x6 photos for the other 4 pic openings. I bought all the mats at AC Moore.
