3. change the dimensions to desired dimensions

4. Pick a cylinder

5. make the cylinder small and thin

6. once at desired size duplicate it 20 more times

7. pick a side of the dice and create the dice pattern with the cylinder for the number of dice on that side (the 4 side would be a 2 x 2 pattern)

8. group the cylinders together and make them a hole

9. use the align feature to put the design onto the dice, centered and on the right side (you might need to change the angle)

10. repeat steps 7-9 until all the sides are done
