Hello and welcome to our magic rose cube video
So the "magic rose cube" is a cube that transforms into a rose, believe it or not
and back to a cube in just a few seconds
so you should have made these three units, pink units for the petals
based on the instructions on our website
and now we're gonna assemble them together like this
so the first two pieces
we'll fit together
with the
flap of one going into the pocket of the other; so we'll slide this in like this...
then we'll repeat that move with the third piece
just as we're showing here
get that in nice and tight
and now the
flap of the third piece
needs to go into the first piece
and it's going to be tucked all the way and so that we get
one-half of a cube, that's three faces of a cube. This flap that I'm pointing out
has to be tucked
all the way in
this could be a little bit tricky
so you want to take your time here
push that in
you may need to loosen up the first two joints a little bit to make this work
just gradually work that in there
don't rush this, otherwise you might
rip the paper just kind of
gently
massage that in there
and
now you have
one-half of a cube
what we do now is to take
the other three pieces which will form the leaves of the rose
and we assemble those into the other half of the cube, so
this flap is going to go into this pocket like we're showing here
and i'll repeat that with the
third piece
so this slides in just like that
and now this other flap on the third piece needs to go into the first piece to
make
the other half of the cube. And that flap will go on the inside
so again this can be a little bit tricky
don't rush this, just kind of work it inside very gently
just like that
so now you have the other half of the cube
this half being green
so of course now we need to assemble these two halves
so what we want to do is have them opposite each other
so
these three pockets, green pockets, will have the three
pink flaps inserted into them
so we need to orient these two with
corners opposite each other
and as you bring the pink and green together, you want all of the flaps
the three pink and three green, to be on the outside of the cube
just like this
now this first
pink flap is going to go
inside the green pocket
that piece will be all the way in, so it will take
a little effort to work in
we'll go slowly
so stick that in there and gently
work it in and around
the corner
Now repeat that for the other two pink flaps
this one goes in here
now the third and last pink flap
again take your time, no need to rush this
work it together gently
Now we need to get the three
green flaps
inside the pink pockets, so
just roll those over a little bit, and
stick them in there like that
and now one more
that one isn't going, so...
let's take it out and try again
make sure it's all snug
and now you have your cube
At this point you may be saying "Great I have a cube but
there's no way that becomes a rose"
Well to make it a rose, you
pick the cube up and make sure the
that point, the pink point, points towards you
and you go to the first face, the pink face
and just hold the two edges and pull gently like that
then go to the next face
hold the two edges, pull gently
actually it's more of a
gentle squeeze on the edges
alright and then next you will
fold out
those pink, no those green pieces
the ones that you tucked in in the last step when making the cube
and there you have it, a rose!
that took all of
five seconds, maybe ten seconds
And now to make it back into
a cube you just reverse the process. So first you tuck in the green leaves
then just push gently on each of the pink faces
with two fingers and it should collapse nice and flat
and Voila! You're back to having a cube.
That's your magic rose cube.
Enjoy!
