Step-by-step instructions for making a cube base from craft blocks

Preparing the blocks

Start by gluing seven craft blocks together on the long, narrow sides. To ensure that the blocks adhere firmly, you should use a good handicraft glue and press the blocks firmly together. Allow the glue to dry completely so that your cube base is stable.

Cutting the foam rubber to size

Once the dried blocks are joined together to form a compact block, place them on your foam sheets and sketch the outline with a sublimat pencil. This special pen fades over time and is ideal for precise markings. Take the blocks to one side and carefully cut out the foam sheets along the markings. Make sure you get straight and clean edges to achieve a perfect result.

Designing the frame

To secure the actual cube area, glue four more craft blocks in a frame border around the seven blocks that have already been glued together. This creates a frame on the outer edges that prevents the cubes from rolling off the table. Here too, it is important to allow the glue to dry thoroughly.

Inserting the foam rubber

Now place the cut foam sheets into the finished wooden frame structure. The foam sheets not only serves as a shock-absorbing base, but also reduces the noise level when rolling the dice, which significantly increases the playing comfort.

Creative design

To personalize your dice pad, you can decorate it however you like. For example, use Posca marker, which is characterized by its strong and opaque colors, or use a plotter and vinyl foil for precise and creative patterns. There are no limits to your creativity!
