You will need:

Divider: 1 sheet of square paper – Use: 15 x 15 cm (I used 18 x 18 cm)

Box & Lid: 2 sheets of square paper – Use: 20 x 20 cm

Ruler + Pencil + Calculator
Optional Glue

I would suggest using paper that isn’t too thin, if you use basic kami paper, it will be fine, but for it to look good, a bit of glue would probably be needed on the underside.

cube: 12 x 12. Final size = 3 x 3 cm (÷/x 4)
tile: 7.6 x 7.6. Final size = 2.8 x 2.8 (÷/x 2.71)
