DIY: Weighted Companion Cube paperweight


We know you're probably getting sick of all the arts and crafts based off this one geometric protagonist. We've seen it all, costumes, plushies, even cake -- but we think Alice Fox has the right frame of mind when it comes to cuboid craftwork -- "our friendly cube is weighted, not a stuffed and cuddly plush toy or a flimsy papercraft."

With that in mind, we present Fox's step by step instructions on how to create a companion cube paperweight. We won't lie, it looks like more work than it's worth, but we'd love to see one sitting on our desk, unassumingly holding down our important documents. It would definitely be a sweet, cost-efficient holiday gift for a gaming relative, or for your favorite Joystiq blogger.
