Cardboard Props: 3D Dice / Rubix cube / Music box

So, as i said in my last instructable, i make props for our local Scout Gangshow... This year amongst the things i have been asked to beg borrow cheat steal or make.. is an oversized rubix cube... This how too will give you an idea how to make a prop rubix cube or a quick oversized dice.

It's not painted yet... I'm waiting for the director to get back to me on if they want a solved or unsolved prop.... but still you can get the idea :)

Enjoy

Step 1: Ingredients!

What you will need:

* Imagination and Patience
* About 30 minutes
* Cardboard ( I used 3mm card from a box i got from the store)
* Pen/ Pencil
* Knife/Scissors (watch your fingers people!
* Ruler
* Glue ( I personally used a glue gun.... But PVA or superglue will dothe trick... it may take longer to dry though)
* Paint or coloured stickers for the squares. Rubix cubes have 6 colours White, Red, Blue, Orange & Green
* Black marker pen


Optional extras:
* To make just a 3d musical box... put in some beads or seeds or a bell...
* Extra card to glue to one side to make a weighted dice

Not to nitpick, but you said a Rubix cube has six colors and only listed five. Yellow is the missing color.

If you have to make an unsolved one, bonus points if you actually use a solvable color scheme! Some (most?) purely random color schemes aren't actually valid, and wouldn't be able to be solved.
