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

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.

Cutting

With scissors, cut out the layout for your cube.

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.

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.

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.
