Tombow-Baby-Challenge

I love to create special keepsakes for family and friends when a child is born.  It is such a precious moment in time that deserves an equally precious announcement!  I created this Baby Block to remember my niece, Marlena Anne Wilson’s birth.

My crafty friend, Eileen Hull has a line of 3D dies with Sizzix that cut matboard and the Tombow Xtreme Adhesive works perfectly to permanently attach the cube together for the base of the announcement!

Here’s what you’ll need:

Here’s how to make it:

Step 2 – Measure and cut six 3″ x 3″ squares of decorative paper.  Apply to faces of cube with Tombow Xtreme Adhesive.  TIP – Remember to “snap” off adhesive at a 90 degree angle.

Step 3 – Apply Tombow Xtreme Adhesive to the four tabs.  Attach to create a “T”, then fold long section around to form cube.  Fold in top and bottom to finish cube.

    Very beautiful keepsake! I am in the middle of making decorations for my daughter’s baby shower that is at the end of this month. I am sure I have some Tombow product in my stash. I will have to see what I come up with.
