Picture Frame Flower Box: a Mother’s Day Gift DIY

Looking for a sweet and sentimental Mother’s Day gift DIY project? Try this easy DIY picture frame flower box!

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.

You could make this for anyone at any time. 🙂

Now that we have that disclaimer out of the way, let me fill you in on how you can make this adorable picture frame vase. Best part? The supplies are SO inexpensive! They’re all from Dollar Tree!

Supplies Needed to Make a Picture Frame Flower Box

This post contains affiliate links. Please read my full disclosure policy or more information.

• Four, 4×4 picture frames (unfortunately Dollar Tree no longer appears to sell the frames I used for this project)
• Wood box
• Vase
• Hot glue gun
• Lazy Susan (optional but amazing)
• Pictures
• Flowers

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!
