LOTS OF LOVE

NOT NEEDED:
A CAT

To make 12x12x12 cube
1. measure a 12x12 square and trace it on the foam board
(Note: Make sure your angles are 90 degrees)
2. Cut out 6 pieces of the same size
3. Make sure that all 6 pieces fit nicely together
(Note: I pined mine together using sewing pins)
4. I used double sided tape to stick 5 pieces together
Note: this step is not neccesary)
5. Tape the inside with tape
6. Tape the 6 piece and secure all the corners
(Note: for extra support tape around the middle)
7.Now use the template for the courners and trace 8 of them on very sturdy but flexible cardboard
8. cut them out
9. I improvise for the middle piece so you do the same ^^ you will need 12 of those
10. Bend all the pieces. Using either a rules, pen or whatever is around
12.Secure these pieces with tape to the cube
13. Trace 6 squares and cut them out
14.Spray paint the cube
(number of coat vary so figure it out ok?)
15. Paint your circles and glue them on
16. Paint the corners another shade of gray or white
(Note: I used spray paint which i highly don't recomend for this step use something that requires a brush ^^)
17. trace and cut out some lined pink felt or foam or whatever is available as well as some cute hearts
(Note: forgot one of these ^^)
18. Glue on and your done

@bluewetball the weighted companion cat cannot accompany you through the rest of the test and, unfortunately, must be euthanized.

I love ingenious people like you who think outside the box.

Or should I say "think outside the companion cube"? (my answer to any portal problem)

P.S. Your cube looks a bit burnt.

How is it a Weighted Companion Cube when its made of foamboard?

Put weights inside it and it might just threaten to stab you.
