I tried some origami I found for a rose that turns into a cube, mine didn't turn out very well, but I will make it eventually. The folding for the petals worked well for a cube shape, so I used that and just folded the end in the opposite direction so I could have it smooth on the outside.

Description

I tried some origami I found for a rose that turns into a cube, mine didn't turn out very well, but I will make it eventually. The folding for the petals worked well for a cube shape, so I used that and just folded the end in the opposite direction so I could have it smooth on the outside.

Instructions

  1. Small 100 7272 1279145546

    Fold your paper in half, then fold each end to the center line.

  2. Small 100 7273 1279145541

    Take the top right corner and fold it like the picture shows, and do the same with the bottom left.

  3. Small 100 7274 1279144132

    Fold it down on the crease line where the picture shows.

  4. Small 100 7275 1279145571

    It should now look like this. Repeat the same for the other side.

  5. Small 100 7276 1279144260

    It should now look like this.

  6. Small 100 7277 1279145660

    Flip it over and fold the flaps you see at the end over.

  7. Small 100 7279 1279144379

    Flip it over again, and fold the ends up so you get a square shape like the picture shows. Repeat these steps until you create 5 more.

  8. Small 100 7280 1279145682

    To assemble it, just slip the ends in like the picture shows.

  9. Small 100 7281 1279144495

    Just fit them together until it's finished. When it's done you can decorate it like normal dice, or like this one I wrote things I like to bake on it since I can't decide and others I use to decide also can't pick.
