Procedure:
✨ Step 1: Drafting the Rubik’s cube Pen stand
- The first step is to make a draft of this Rubik’s cube Pen stand.
- To make this draft, you will need pencil, ruler and a white paper sheet.
- Draw the draft as shown in the image above on a white sheet of paper.
✨ Step 2: Cutting the draft
- When you have made the draft, we will move to the next step.
- This draft will become the base of the Pen stand.
- Cut along along the outer edges of this draft.
- Cut out the two circles made in the draft.
✨ Step 3: Folding the draft
- Now you have a cut out draft.
- Start making the shape of the Rubik’s cube Pen stand by folding along the lines made in the draft.
- Keep on folding along the lines slightly, until you get perpendicular folds on each edge.
✨ Step 4: The basic structure ready
- When you have folded along each line on the draft, you will get a structure.
- This structure made of hard white paper is the basic structure of your Rubik’s cube Pen stand.
✨ Step 5: making the base sturdy
- Now stick these folds and form with each side.
- Use glue for this purpose.
- This will make the structure strong.
✨ Step 6: Making more structures
- Now we will be making more such basic structures for the Rubik’s cube Pen stand.
- We will make these multiple structures to ensure the height and structural strength of the pen stand.
- Make sure you follow the measurements in each of the structure.
- Now you have three such structures.
✨ Step 7: Setting up the pen stand
- We have made the circles in the structures of the same size aas the toilet paper roll.
- Now take a toilet paper roll and fix it inside the circle of the first structure.
- Use glue to fix the toilet paper roll in position.
✨ Step 8: Securing the toilet paper roll inside the first structure
- Use glue to help the toilet paper roll stay secure inside the base structure.
- Keep the toilet paper roll stable and flat inside the structure.
✨ Step 9: Adding height to the Rubik’s cube Pen stand

- Stick the other two structures one by one on top of the base structure.
- This increases the height of the pen stand and provides a canvas for the Rubik’s cube design.
✨ Step 10: Cut off the excess roll
- When you have stuck and secured the three structures around the toilet paper roll, we can remove the excess paper roll from the top.
- Take a paper cutter to remove the excess of the toilet paper roll from the Rubik’s cube Pen stand.
✨ Step 11: Starting to decorate
- We started to make this pen stand with a vision of colorful and bright craft.
- Now divide the sides of the pen stand in small squares.
- Cut out small-sized squares from colored paper.
- Make enough squares with colored paper to fill in the surface of the pen stand.
✨ Step 12: Adding colored squares
- Now take these square colored pieces and start adding them to the pen stand structure.
- Stick these squares one by one. No two same-coloured squares must be used side by side.
- The contrast of colors provides more beauty to the craft.
- This looks pretty and colorful.
✨ Step 13: Completing and filling all sides of the pen stand
- Keep on moving upwards and sidewards as you keep on adding the colored squares to the pen stand.
