Make a $5 Horadric Cube in 5 hours!

Make a $5 Horadric Cube in 5 hours!
Hello all,

During the last couple of months I have seen website articles on fan-made Horadric Cubes.

Since I've made several of these things myself, I decided to make a Horadric Cube.

I think what I achieved is much closer to the original cube than many of the others made before.
It was also cheap and relatively easy. It would make a great Christmas gift!

This is a "How-To" make one of these.

You don't have to be used to working with clay to make anything less awesome.

Step 1Grabbing Materials

Grabbing Materials
Grab your materials! Brown + Gold Sculpey Clay, a ruler, a rolling pin (I used a Starbucks cup instead) and as thin of a knife as you can get. Note: to make the Transmute button I make in this, you have to use a tiny amount of White clay as well. You don't have to, but keep that in mind while shopping.

If you can get a rolling pin, use it. It's better and ensures that your clay is the same thickness when you roll it. Anything else makes it uneven, and thus less cube-ish.

(Buy Sculpey Clay at any arts + crafts store like Michael's. It's cheap, comes in a variety of colors. There are several other brands that work JUST FINE such as Fimo.)


This clay sticks to anything really easily, so if you can find a marble or glass surface, use that. I have none, so you can put Aluminum foil over a clipboard or something and work on that. (It sometimes tears, but it's k.)

Very cool idea, I don't have the correct color clays atm but this certainly insights me to re-install d2 for the 100,000th time!

Great work and nice -ible. The one thing I would suggest is adding something about ventilation. The fumes from baking polymer clay are *nasty.* Best not to stick around while baking and/or have venting/windows open.

Oh yes. It's not something you can necessarily smell. These are made up of PVC and pthalates. Check out this link, for example. https://pincdn.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/ZusMU1w2maKOQIIc4uVn4A/HiddenHazards.pdf

Whats a big deal to some is unknown to others, I have several gamer friends who look at me like I have 3 heads when I don't understand a reference they made, ie: I'm working on a flying demon horse sculpture, very loosely based on the harry potter books, one friend had 4 different names and genealogies for what it could be, I was like, ummm ok... its a winged demon horse thing and I don't know what it will really look like until Ive finished making it. Kind of like the image on your shirt, I was going for something like that on the back of my truck for the Haunted House but it turned out looking like some kind of multi horned lizard.
Keep creating and sharing, this was an interesting "ible" and like I said before, a cool little box regardless of its intended purpose

Yeah, but it's kind of a big deal.
