Vintage Wood Block Photo Holder Tutorial

Welcome to this month’s edition of Craft Lightning with a 15-minute DIY craft project.  And of course, I picked something from an antique shop to repurpose!  I’ve been collecting these vintage wood children’s blocks for a few years now.  I love the worn look of them.

Supplies for Vintage Block Photo Holders:

  • vintage wooden children’s blocks
  • drill ( I use my Dremel.)
  • annealed wire
  • wire cutters
  • Sharpie or other pen to wrap wire around
  • round nose pliers
  • glue (super glue or E6000)

My Dremel drill that I use for vintage block photo holders | DuctTapeAndDenim.com

First, drill a hole in the top center of the block.

Cut a piece of wire (approximately 12″).  Wrap one end around the Sharpie 3 times. Use round nose pliers to make a tiny loop in the end of the wire.  Bend the long end at an angle so the top loops will be centered.

Drop a bit of glue on a piece of wax paper and dip the straight end of the wire into it.

Then stick that end into the top of the block and let dry.
