Cubeecraft is a website with free printable templates for making little cube people from paper. All you need is a printer and scissors (and glue, if you're attempting to build a more complicated template). There are tons of characters to choose from - some are pop culture icons, and some come from the minds of different designers.
Check out my Cubeecraft Dream Team:
Venus de Milo, the Katamari Prince, Strongbad, and Karl from "Up".There is seriously a Cubee for everyone.
I had some time to kill, so I decided to make a Cubee for myself! I chose to make a Stormtrooper, because I'm a geek (...and because I have a monochrome laser printer).
The stormtrooper template is an easy-level template. It requires no glue (though I did need a craft knife to score the paper in some places). Cutting out all the pieces took a good chunk of time... but being able to build everything up felt so rewarding afterward!
I used card stock instead of regular printer paper, and it really made assembly much easier. However, in working and folding the template, some of the ink started rubbing off the paper. Ink jet printers would eliminate this issue.
My stormtrooper is now standing guard near the rubber cement on my window ledge. Epic win. Try it yourself!
