Creating a cube in a hurry
A simple and quick cube made by yourself. To quickly make a cube, you can turn to simple diagrams. They are on websites for creativity and in thematic publications. You can make your own template according to the existing pattern, but in a different size. What to do next:
- Print out the dice template for the craft.
- Cut out the resulting diagram.
- Fold the cube along the contours.
- Using office glue, glue the places where the sides touch weakly.

A simple paper cube is ready.
Template for creating crafts.
Crafts from plastic bags
Bags can also be used as material for crafts. By cutting them into long strips, you can knit an unusual rug or bag.
From this material you can make pompoms, which will serve as the basis for animal figures, fairy-tale characters or lush flowers.
Thus, packages that are no longer needed in the household will find a second life. Ideas for creativity can be gleaned from interior design magazines or on thematic websites.
The use of waste materials has become in demand among famous designers. Their goal is to draw attention to environmental issues.
Memory game
This game involves from 2 to 10 people. 16 cards are produced. Every two cards contain the same images. One person lays out the cards in a square in a chaotic order with the pattern facing up, while at the same time the person who will play stands with his back turned. He turns for exactly 5 seconds and tries to remember the images. It is turned away and the cards are turned over to the other side. Now he must turn over the cards and find pairs within a minute. The person who guesses the largest number of pairs with the same pictures wins. Cards can be made from cardboard and any drawings can be drawn.
Prospects for the domestic market
Most of the goods that can be found on the shelves are low-quality Chinese products created in a hurry.
Children's toys from similar manufacturers are no exception, attracting children with bright colors, but at the same time repelling them with an unpleasant chemical smell.
Lack of quality, the ability to break quickly, dubious dyes - all this can warn even an unpretentious buyer from wasting money, especially since the cost of such purchases is sometimes quite high.
Being quite well-read, parents began to pay great attention to the goods purchased for their children.
In connection with this trend, the business idea for the production of wooden cubes has become relevant.
Development of a cube for gluing according to the drawing
To manufacture a product in a development, you need to prepare:
- A4 sheet of paper;
- a simple pencil;
- ruler;
- scissors.
It is necessary to begin the creative process with the design of the scan. This is the name of the diagram that is needed to create a three-dimensional cube from paper.
The development that will be required when creating a cube.
Unrolling a cube for gluing, step-by-step and quick instructions to follow:
- Draw a square on a piece of paper. Here it is important to ensure that its sides are the same length and the corners are straight.
- Since the cube has 6 faces, the craft will require 6 paper squares.
- Draw such squares of the same size on other sheets of paper.
- To connect the figures you will need allowances. You need to draw them on the sides of 3 parts.
- The width of the seam allowance should be kept at 1 cm.
- Cut out the resulting diagram and glue the edges together using a glue stick. While working, do not forget to remove the corners of the allowances to make it easier to glue the figure.
Important! You can write letters or draw animals on the resulting cube, and then play educational games with your children.
Making Efron cubes
Bradley Efron, a statistician from the United States, came up with a set of dice that had paradoxical properties. All cubes in this set are the same in shape and weight. The only difference is the numbers that are printed on their faces. The numbers are chosen in such a way that when rolled, the numbers on the red die come up more than on the orange, on the orange – more than on the yellow, and on the yellow – more than on the green. Finally, green more often shows a number greater than red, that is, the first. Today we will look at how you can make these miracle cubes at home.
So, let's watch the homemade video, and then try to repeat it:
Efron cubes can be made from wood, plastic and stone. We know how to make plastic at home from the previous material. You can use this method to make plastic and make plastic cubes, but today we will make wooden ones.
: Epoxy resin
Mix one portion of resin (according to the instructions on the package) in a disposable cup and stir the mixture with a spatula.
Let's add decorative material to the epoxy. I really liked the powder and glitter.
Pour the resin into the mold. Filling should be done with extreme caution. Don't pour too much because the resin will stick out through the top of the mold.
The resin will shrink slightly in size after drying.
Replacing a dice with improvised means:
Basically we have 2 ways:
- Quickly make the cube itself from what you have at home or on the street.
- Replacing a cube like this while maintaining functionality.
So, let's look at each path separately.
Making dice at home
Because Since the cubes themselves are sold almost everywhere, there is no point in making an eternal cube with your own hands. Therefore, we will discard such options and limit ourselves to only those that take little time. So what we offer:
- From vegetables and fruits Yes!, no matter how stupid it may sound!)) If you have radishes, potatoes or carrots, then you can always cut a cube out of them and put dots on it using a match or a nail.
- From plasticine, plaster or clay. Everything is simple here, we sculpt a cube and apply dots with a match. We wait until it hardens and play. Among the disadvantages, it can be noted that some plasticine does not harden well and periodically it will be necessary to restore our gaming product. Therefore, it is better to use hardening plasticine for crafts, clay or plaster.
- From an eraser (eraser) Take a sharp knife and cut out a cube from the eraser. We apply the dots with a regular pen or felt-tip pen/marker.
- Made of tin or lead These metals melt easily and many people have them on hand, you just have to look (dad’s fishing sinker or a soldering kit, for example))). The most important and most difficult thing will be to find a suitable form that can be safely heated; the rest is a matter of technique.
- From paper (2 options) - Download the pattern from the Internet and print it. Then cut and glue. — We find origami in the shape of a cube and fold the cube from an ordinary notebook sheet.

How to make a set of dice with your own hands
Board games have always been and will be a wonderful activity that will help you spend time with family and friends. That's why I had the idea to make gift dice with my own hands . However, making a homemade product from plastic or wood was a little banal, so for such an original gift it was necessary to find a worthy alternative material.

How to make your own dice? DIY dice.
In this post, I want to talk about my experience in making dice at home. You can find this article by searching: - How to make dice yourself? — Instructions for making dice. — How to make six-sided dice at home for playing dice or backgammon?
Since I am involved in historical reconstruction, I was interested in making simple dice for medieval games, for example for the German game - Gluckshaus - “House of Happiness”.
Unfortunately, the first bones did not turn out the way I wanted, but more on that later.
The choice of material for the dice was simple, since my workshop works with exotic woods, I chose African wood - niove.
The drill attachment will significantly speed up the work and allow you to quickly process the edges of future dice.
We move on to putting numbers on the edges of the cube, but first we will choose how they will look, will they be just dots, like on Viking dice, or will they be concentric circles, like on ancient Roman dice? From the materials that I found, approximately 70% of medieval bones have numbers indicated by concentric circles (1-2 circles and a dot in the center), and such bones have been found for more than 2000 years!
