If you want to make your own magic folding cube, it's simple in principle, although it can be time-intensive, especially if you need to make everything from scratch. The finished magic folding cube can then be folded like this . Here are the steps:
Get eight cubes
If you don't have cubes, here is a blank printable PDF template and here is another one, with the outer sides of the cubes in black
You can put designs on the different sides to distinguish the outer sides from the inner sides.
Decide which three sides of the cube should be on the outside and which one will be hidden on the inside (at least initially). Lay four of them in front of you and combine them in a way that only shows the outer sides. Do the same with the second set of four cubes.
Apply tape as shown in the animation.
Carefully fold the magic folding cube from the outer cube to the inner cube
and apply tape to these sides (on the outside, over the tape that is now on the inside). Alternatively, you can apply tape each to the corresponding inner side right after you glue each of the outer sides. Adding tape on each side of the hinges will make the cube more stable, especially when folding.Finished papercraft examples can be found here .
