Introduction: Holographic Paper Cube
☆ Fun cube shaped confetti! ☆ or have a bunch in a jar and have people guess how many cubes are inside. Play build with a few made cubes.... What else?? Have fun making them! ☆
Supplies
• 1 holographic card stock paper size: 2.5 "x 4" ( for the cube, you can also use color construction paper).
• 1 ruler
• 1 pencil
• 1 toothpick
• 1 pair of scissors
• Super glue
• 1 ruler
• 1 pencil
• 1 toothpick
• 1 pair of scissors
• Super glue
Step 1: Measuring and Drawing
Use the ruler and the pencil to draw your cube layout onto the back of the holographic paper. The squares I measured out for my cube size: .5" × .5" inches.
The 5 triangle shaped tabs are 4mm high.
The 5 triangle shaped tabs are 4mm high.
Step 2: Cutting
With scissors, cut out the layout for your cube.
Step 3: Scoring
Use the toothpick to push and gently trace over the lines between the squares on your cut layout the cube. Note: All of the lines will be where the layout will be folded to form the cube. This step will make folding on the lines easier.
Step 4: Folding
With the cut layout facing holographic side down. Now time to fold all of the the lines on the layout. Start with square 1 and in numerical order to square 5 on the diagram shown in this step. Fold up towards yourself, not towards the holographic side. Then fold all 5 triangle tabs the same way.
Step 5: Gluing
Fold your layout to make the cube shape. With the super glue, place a small dot of glue on each of the folded tabs, one at a time. Then close the cube and hold closed for a quick 30 seconds while the glue is setting.
