Description Here is a tutorial of how I made my custom weighted companion cubes. Feel free to make your own but please take pictures and show me your results!

Weighted companion cube and aperture science were created by Valve for their game Portal. ^_^

hehe thanks ^_^ it's all thanks to your tutorial.

I plan on making one thats half the normal size and use it has one of those things that hang in your car.
It shouldn't be too bad if I use cardboard again like I did for the pink cube XD

I fail really hard at making the 'cookie cutters' but other than that the tutorial is going smoothly.

You worded it awesomely and it was not only a joy to look at, but a joy to read and try as well

Keep up the good work! You deserve cake.

You can cut them all by hand, but the cookie cutter thing only helps with the consistancy since you'll need so many of them. I did the first one by hand and got lazy and ended up with an ugly cube. I didn't incinerate it though. I didn't have the heart to.

<3 You are awesome. I was thinking about trying to make some cubes after I saw the ones you made. But, since my skills at crafts rarely go towards using tin snips, I'm just gonna make plushie companion cubes. But I will have to try this sometime.

Now I can try my hand at it - but if you don't see any new art from me in a few weeks it means I've probably cut my hand off somehow, lol
