How To Make A Business Card Cube

Ranked #11,415 in Education, #239,756 overall

Do you have tons of business cards but don't know what to do with them? Want to impress people with some awesomeness?

Learning how to do this is not hard at all. And, once you learn all of the steps, you can do it over and over and over for the rest of your life! It's simple, it impresses people, and best of yet, it turns all of those business cards into something productive!
Important!

What You Need:

Six Business Cards for the basic model

Twelve Business Cards for the advanced model
(I personally like the advanced model because it looks much much nicer. You'll see what I mean)

Step 1: Folding the Cards Into Pieces

You will need 6 cards for the basic model, 12 for the advanced model 

6 cards vs. 12 cards

I personally would go for the 12 card model if you have enough business cards. It looks nicer and sleeker.
The 6 card model works as well if you are low on cards

First, place two business cards on top of each other. Try to get them with even lengths on each side. Also, try to place them as 

Fold the edges of the bottom over the top card. Try to keep the lines as straight as possible 

Flip the card over. Now once again fold over the edges of the bottom card. 

Rinse and Repeat


Repeat this step 2 more times to get 6 folded cards.
If you are making the 12 card model, 5 more times to get 12 folded cards.

Now you should have 12 folded cards total 

Step 2: Building the Box

Here Comes the Good Part!

This step is the hardest one, but luckily it's relatively simple once you get the hang of it. It's hard for me to describe fully in words, so hopefully the pictures will help!

Place one card flat on the table. Now place another card in front of one of the flaps 

Add a 3rd card to the cube. Make sure one flap is under the bottom card and the flap from the 2nd card is behind the 3rd card 

Add a 4th card across from the 3rd card. Set it up exactly like you did the 3rd card 

Add a 5th card in the same manner that you did the 2nd card. It's flaps should be behind the 3rd and 4th cards. The flap from th 

Put the final card into place. The flaps of the 3rd and 4th cards should be on top of the 6th card. Now your 6 card cube is fini 

Step 3: Adding the Remaining 6 pieces. (For advanced model only)

The Best Part!

With the remaining 6 cards, fold them like you did in Step 1. If you take a look at your cube so far, you will notice that on each of the 6 sides, there are little slots that your remaining six cards could fit into. Slide one card into each side.

Slide one card into each side. 

Here is your finished cube! Hooray! 

Step 4: Make More Cubes!

More More More!

Now that you can create one cube, making more should be easy! Once you start, it's hard not to want to make more!
