Description
UPDATE!!!! I redid this tutorial with photos of all the steps. You can find the new version on my blog: Part I & Part II . Enjoy!---------
I almost forgot to upload this. A few people requested this a while back and I obliged. This is my first attempt at a tutorial so it's not super fantastic. It's pretty text heavy, illustration light, but hopefully it's still instructional. Let me know if you have any questions or problems.
I made a pdf with just the pattern pieces and you can find it here:

And just for reference, this is what my cube looked like when finished:

Remember that the companion cube belongs to Valve, so you can't use this pattern for commercial purposes. It is just for your own enjoyment!

This'll be excellent for when I finally scrap the green to try making plushies.

Well fortunately most of the supplies are pretty cheap. Especially the felt.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I had no idea it was that cheap.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well the craft felt is. It's like 20 cents a sheet. The wool kind is a lot more expensive.

Gotcha! That's not bad.

That would be wonderful, actually - there are some out there, but the more, the merrier, and it's amazing how much you can learn just of techniques and whatnot

Yeah, I figured it couldn't hurt. And it gives me a good project.
Thank you for the +watch, btw. Your work is pretty awesome.

i'm a bit confused about how the corners work though? you put them on all sides, right? how do they connect? \:

Well, this is kind of rough but I hope it helps. Let me know either way. I'm thinking perhaps I should re-do my tutorial with more illustrations.
