 What you’ll need:
Here’s what to do: Step 1 Divide up your first picture into the same amount of squares as you have building blocks using thin pencil lines and the ruler on the back so you won’t ruin the picture.  Step 2: Cut your picture into squares with either a cutting machine or a scalpel and metal ruler on a cutting board surface (measuring and cutting should be done as accurately as possible or the squares will not fit the block size and will overlap or be too small and not form the big picture).  Step 3: Glue the small picture squares onto the top surface of the blocks so they will make up your big picture again. (For gluing you can also use sticky tape on the back of each picture, which you can easily take off again for adjustments.)  Step 4: Then turn each block over to the right and repeat steps 1-3 with your second picture. Keep turning the blocks over for each new picture (include turn forwards and backwards) until all 6 sides of every block are covered with different parts of your pictures. Try out the puzzle and make sure no pieces are missing or in the wrong place.   To preserve the pictures from tearing accidentally and from moisture, cover each block with a sticky transparent plastic sheet. For this you make up a design like you see in the diagram according to your block size and cut it out of the sheet (one side of the sheet is transparent plastic, one side is peel off paper you can draw on). You peel off the paper cover and put the block down on the sticky side on field no.1, then fold up no. 2 and no.3 wrapping the extra plastic around the edges. The next are no. 4 and no. 5 in the same way and then just fold no. 6 on the top.
