How to Make 2x1x1 Rubik's Cube from Legos

Person holding a partially solved Rubik's Cube.

Want to make a Rubik's Cube just like Erno Rubik? Of course you do, but before you start making all of the intrinsic mechanisms of the classic Cube, maybe you should start out a little simpler.

This video tutorial will teach you how to make 2x1x1 Rubik's Cube from Legos. Just dig up your old Legos and get ready to make this replica, directly proportional to all of your other Rubiks Cubes, that actually spins.

With a little Photoshop skills, or Microsoft Publisher or Paintbrush, and a scanner and printer, the stickers will be a cinch. You'll also need a ruler, scissors, a paper cutter, clear packing tape, a glue stick, Lego bricks (or blocks), superglue, a box cutter, sandpaper and black paint.

Note: For the full instructions on the stickering part, check out the video on WonderHowTo entitled "Make professional-looking 1x1 Rubik's Cubes from Legos".
