Blind Cube

This is a blind rubix cube that I made for a friends birthday.

I made it based similarly to gtig's version here

I just solved it, and it didn't take as long as I had anticipated.
All of the objects that are on it are also ones that I found around the house.
So, aside from the cube, this cost nothing.

Step 1 Get Materials

For this, I ordered a cheap Rubix Cube on Amazon.
Anywhere is fine, you just need a base.

My materials were:

TO MAKE:
Glue Gun (with glue, lots of it)
Tweezers
Paper Cutter
Scissors

TEXTURES:
Adhesive-backed Green Felt
Clear Checkered Plastic Shelf Paper (found at nearest drugstore)
Small plastic 'X' Shaped tile spacers (randomly found them in my garage)
Fine Sand Paper
Coarse Sand Paper
Blank Rubix Cube Side (orange)

If these can't be found anything really could be used.
Small buttons
Foam pieces
If you go to a craft store there are millions of things that can be found.

very cool. but the other one 'ible that uses metal pieces is better. i rate this a 3.5/5

Thanks, but the plan wasn't to make it cool, but to be able to make it with whatever I had around the house. I did go to the local hardware store to find metal fixings that I could use. Sadly that would have made the cube much to pricey for me at the time.

this is like a medieval torture device if you really suck at it. ^{as he applies the six band-aid on to his hand}

Wow. I'm guessing, based on the fact that you called it a 'blind cube' that your friend has vision impairment. I just wanted to tell you that, if that's true, it's a beautiful thing you did for your friend. Please get back to me on that.

She was amazing at it too.
