Paint
Bake the cube if it is a baking clay, let it dry if it is a hardening clay.
If you want the edges to be silver instead of white, spray-paint the entire cube silver. Otherwise paint the edges, corners, and circles white.
Mix the black and white paint to make a dark grey paint.
Paint the low area between the edges and the circle grey.
Mix the red and white paint to make pink paint.
Paint a heart in the center of each circle.
