Use the cardboard paper to build 8 small cubes. This is a very important step. Every cube must in the same size. Else, you couldn't build a good folding cube. Size of the cube is totally depends on how big you want your folding cube to be. I prefer a handy and cute one, so, I chose to have 1.5 inch cube. Click to learn How To Make A Cube. However, if you don't want to make your own cube, you can choose to buy wooden cube.
(a) Separate the cubes into two sets; four small cubes each.
To decorate the cube, you can either draw or print photos. I drew some simple drawings with Sharpie Fine Point Marker Pens. I would advise you to plan what you want to put on the cube first, then plan the direction. This is because some faces are in rectangle, and hence, you would need to have wider picture or drawing on that face.
