Paper Puzzle Cube
This is a kind of puzzle cube. I made it to see what I could do with the use of really normal stuff. They are all kind of shapes that fit in the box as shown on the picture. I gave it as a present for a gift exchange.
What Do You Need
Like I said, I wanted to see what I could do with stuff:
- coloured paper. ( I used two-colour origami paper.)
- something between paper and cardboard( too thin to be real cardboard, too thick for paper.)
- seetrough plastic bag.
- glue.
- scissors.
- ruler.

Drawing
Before we're gonna make the shapes, we want to know what shapes to make.
I made sure all the shapes I used were easy enough to make out of paper
NOTE: the black square is an open spot, not a shape.

This Could Take a While...
Now take your ruler and draw these shapes!
Every square is 1 by 1 cm.

Cutting It All Out
Cut out all the shapes you just drew.
Folding and Glueing
Fold the shapes and glue it all together.
The Box
Now we just have to make the box to put the shapes in...
Make a cube from 4,5 by 4,5 cm. Draw a square 0,5 cm from the edge. Cut the square out and replace them by a piece of plastic bag.
Fold the cube and glue it together, leaving one side open.
