This DIY picture frame flower box craft is SO cute! And because it’s a bit sentimental, I think it’s a great DIY Mother’s Day gift.
But . . . it’s definitely NOT limited to Mother’s Day.

How to Make a DIY Picture Frame Flower Box as a Mother’s Day DIY Gift
Start by removing the stand or flap on the back of each frame.
Then, hot glue one of the frames to the front of the wood box. If you buy the same box I used, they come in a set of three (like nesting boxes), and you’ll use the largest of the three boxes.
Next, glue a frame to the outside edge of that first frame. This second frame will not touch the wood box (if you’re using the same box I did). None of the other frames will touch that box – just the first frame!
Continue gluing the frames together until you’ve formed a cube.

Now you can insert some special photos, and then – if you’re extra – glue a lazy susan or turntable to the bottom so that it can spin. Mom will love turning her photo cube planter to see the special photos!

Finally, place the vase into the wood box.
Fill it with flowers and present this as a beautiful and sentimental Mother’s Day gift!
I also think photo flower boxes like this could be beautiful centerpieces at things like bridal showers, weddings, milestone birthday parties, and more!
