Spotty Photo Blocks
The Set Up
Start with a plain wooden block. Lay out trays of dot stickers and labels in every size and colour you can find.
The Making
Cover every side with dots until the block feels alive. Seal with Modge Podge so the stickers stay put and shine.
Drill a hole in the top, add a dab of hot glue, and slide in a piece of wire with a bead at the base to hold it steady. Twist the wire into a loop or spiral at the top so that it becomes the holder for a portrait or photo. Snap an instant photo, print one in black and white, or slip in a drawing.
Kusama loved self portraits and fashion as part of her art, so this step feels especially connected to her world.
Variations
Use mini metal photo pegs instead of wire if you want a simpler build.
Line up a collection of blocks to create a dot-filled gallery.
Let each artist choose their own sticker palette so every block has a distinct personality.
