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!
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
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!
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!
Slide one card into each side.
Here is your finished cube! Hooray!
Step 4: Make More Cubes!
More More More!
