Custom Hexagon Dice Box
Instruction
Information
I wanted to create a new dice box to give gifts to friends.
Instruction
Step1: Customize and Cut
I used an image from Creative Fabrica, but you can customize the image on the top of the dice box. Check the engrave and cut settings for your machine and run.
I use 12x12 basswood and had to move 2 hexagons to another canvas before cutting, but if you have larger sheets you may be able to cut on one.
Step2: Glue lid together
Grab the hexagon with the design and the hexagon with the smaller hexagon cut out. The outline will become the lip of the main body, but the smaller hexagon will be used to keep the lid secure.
Using the lip/outline to make sure the smaller hexagon is centered, glue the smaller hexagon to the middle of the lid and clamp.
Step3: Glue the box together
Take the rest of the hexagons and stack together with the one without holes on the bottom. Then, add the outline/lip hexagon from the previous step to the top. Glue and clamp.
