Any cube has 6 faces, so there should be exactly six of them in the scheme. First, we draw the central square of the desired width (remember that the possibilities of A4 are not limitless), and around it we draw 4 more squares with the same side length. The last square we draw the assembly on any element
In addition to the edges, gluing allowances are required. We draw them from the side, drawing them to the three sides. Each allowance should not be more than 1 cm. Do not forget that 45º corners are cut on allowances.
It turns out a cube

You can take scissors and cut everything along the lines. We bend the faces of the future cube. All allowances are also neatly bent and coated with glue. Now all that remains is to glue all the parts and let the product dry.

To make a funny photo album on a transforming cube, you need to glue a piece of a photo or picture on each side of it.
In the work, they use glue, ready-made cubes assembled from cardboard (edges of 4 cm), scotch tape.
For the transformation to succeed, you need to glue the cubes correctly

It is better to print the photos so that they match in size. The image must be taken with dimensions 8 × 8 cm². You can immediately make a ruled line with a width of 1 pixel: it will be easy to cut along it after printing, and the line itself will be invisible.
If we take 8 cubes, then you need to prepare 10 photos. The picture is cut into 4 parts along the selected line, and each element is glued to the edge. But before that, you first need to stick strips of double-sided tape in a certain way.
Photos should be glued as neatly as possible

How to make an original and bright modular paper cube with your own hands
Creativity knows no boundaries, and paper is a source of inspiration for different people. Let's see how to make a cube from A4 sheets of paper.
Manufacturing instruction
Let's figure out how to make a paper cube by assembling it from modules. For the product, 6 sheets of paper are needed, from each we need to cut a 15 × 15 cm² square. These sizes are convenient for work.
Important! All fold lines must be precise and perfect, otherwise the assembly will be crooked and ugly!
First, fold the sheet in half to create folds, and spread and fold each side towards the center. Now turn the paper over and fold its corners towards the center, making a trapezoid. Only opposite corners can be folded.

The corners must be released and all stages of the folds repeated for each square. In total, we have 6 modules for assembly.
Module assembly process:
- We take 2 modules, insert the corner of the first into the slot of the second, as in the photo.
- The second element needs to be inserted in the other direction: each slot will fit two triangles.
- It remains to add one more face, filling in the triangles.
It turns out an interesting product that can be used as a decorative item.
