Introduction: 3D Beaded Cube!!
This Instructable will show you how to make a 3D beaded cube
Step 1: Gather Materials
You will need :
1. 108 Beads
- For this Instructable, I'll be using purple beads
- You can use a different color if you would like
2. String/Wire
- For this Instructable I will be using string
- If you would like the project to be very strong and sturdy, it's best that you use wire
3. Scissors
4. Nail Polish/Permanent marker
- If you don't have any nail polish you can use a permanent marker as well
- Red works best, but any color will do
Step 2: Fold String/Wire in Half
1. Cut a piece of string/wire
