Sticker-free Rubik's cube!

Tired of the stickers falling off of your Rubik's cube? Here is a simple and cheap solution to making your cube last longer and look cooler!

Step 1 What you'll need.

Scissors, a ruler, a pen, 6 different colored foam pads (the thinner the better), and brush on Krazy glue (I got the kind made for plastic and leather... etc).

Normally I don't say something this (I actually despise most people who say something like this, considering this is Instructables) but it's a dollar for a high quality sticker set from Cube Smith and $5 for high quality tiles. Then again, it looks like you are using a Rubik's brand, so you probably don't care.

Cool! this is an what i searched ,thanks! * I just hate some kind of stickers ,they're can be easily "peeled off", so now I use a 3x3 cube that painted on its side..* By the way is it a Superglue?( or the Krazyglue is the brand?.or it's better to use some kind of glue that quite strong , but can be "peeled"? * coz, man , I won't have that PERMANENT kind.it'll looks dirty...sometimes you should change it ,right? -j-

There's one problem, if the foam is thicker than 1.5mm it does not comply with WCA regulations and therefore is not acceptable for official competitions.

So..? Go buy a $10 cube for competition.

you can also buy pre-cut tiles from Cube4You.com you can simply stick on

Really cool. This is awesome. I just got a new cube and my old one's stickers were coming off. I'll try this one!

 What an awesome ible!!!

[bassclarinet23]

That looks really neat...you could pull it off, but in such a situation, the cube would be enduring reckless abuse.

[Ebag123]

Looks good! Do you think it works for a 4x4?

[RMConstruction]

No reason to say why not :-)

[Letheyann]

nice dude,really nice,i love it!

[AzraelUK]

Looks awesome. Does it feel awesome when you stroke it? Can you rub it up against your face? Is it soft like the fur of a kitten?

[sora005]

you know you could of bot tiles from cube smith would of worked a lot better and it would of been removable but rilly cool idea!

[lemonie]

This is a great mod. I think that people peeling the stickers off is the real problem? (middle stickers and a screwdriver is better) Still the super-glue and foam is going to make peeling very difficult!

[mrrshotshot]

yea i realized that this is probably a permanent mod AFTER i had super glued all the pieces on... oh well, cubes are cheap.
