MAGIC CUBE PUZZLE INSTRUCTIONS!

Use the photos below to help guide the process. Start by placing a piece of tape across two blocks as shown below. Write a #1 on the tape to label this as hinge #1.

NOTE: It’s very important to read the note in the picture below! For each one of these steps to make your magic cube, you will need to reinforce your “hinge” by placing a piece of tape on the back and front.

You will want to create hinge #2 by attaching a block to the top of one of the blocks marked with a #1 as shown directly below. Label that with a #2. Remember to open the hinge all the way to reinforce it!

Now repeat the step with a new hinge on the top of the other #1 block and label that as #3! Again, remember to reinforce the hinge on the other side. See the pictures below for these steps.

Next repeat the steps with another set of 4 blocks labeling them #4, #5, and #6. Always reinforce those hinges!

Pin

Place the two bundles of blocks together as shown below.

You will then create hinge #7 by placing a piece of tape across blocks #3 and #5 as seen in the middle photo below. Don’t forget to reinforce the hinge on the other side.

Move on to create hinge #8 by placing a piece of tape across blocks #2 and #6 and of course don’t forget to reinforce the hinge on the other side.

Go ahead and test out your blank magic cube puzzle now and see how it works. Make sure all hinges are reinforced!
