stimtoybox: night-dark-woods: cube fidget tutorial! you can make one with dice or cubes of any sort, and they’re super cool and fun to play with. i’ve seen multiple video tutorials for these but i find video tutorials really hard to follow. instructions also under the cut Keep reading This tutorial works really well, but I find a standard D6 die base (approximately 1.5 cm) to be too small for me to easily manipulate. They sort of get lost in my fingers and fall out of my hand; my real infinite cube fidget is much easier for me to handle with 2 cm squares. That .5 cm all around makes such a difference for me in terms of ease of use.I really love the idea, accessibility and the ease of making, as dollar shop dice are cheap to get, but the finished size means I have to concentrate so hard to keep the fidget in my hands. I don’t recommend a standard D6 die as a good base if you have chronic hand pain or struggle with coordination.(Note: by step 4 I’d lost all sense of spatial orientation as to which colours corresponded to which sides of my dice, so I just taped over the bent parts of the tape “hinges” I’d made up to then, and it worked just fine. That said, I had another infinite cube fidget to look at, so maybe this advice is less useful without that visual reference.)I’ve got some 2.5 cm dice I found in a dollar shop that’d work well for this, if I can get enough of them, but I’m actually thinking of trying these origami paper cubes, made from mini origami sheets! As long as you’re careful not to squish the fidget too hard, it’d work, and the cubes can take gentle squishing without deforming too much. It’d be a little too big for one-handed use, but I actually like the thought of that. -- source link
