How Can I Customize My Rubik's Cube?

Created by Hungarian Architect Erno Rubik, the Rubik's Cube is a series of colored squares that must be manipulated until the color blocks match on each side. The toy became popular during the 1980s but is making a comeback today in the form of key chains, customized photo cubes and promotional gift cubes. You can order Rubik's Cube stickers to print your own pattern or company logo at the Rubik's website (see Resources) or go to the Personalized Mall website (see Resources) and upload six photographs or images to display on each of cube sides. As of 2010, prices range from $29.99 for a personalized photo cube to $5.99 for just the sticker sheets.

Instructions

  1. Printing Stickers for Your Cube

    • 1

      Order the custom stickers from the Rubik's website. Note that this kit does not include a Rubik's Cube. One order of stickers includes enough sheets and protective laminates to customize 10 cubes with your color printer.

    • 2

      Set your printer to A4 paper setting and insert the Rubik's Cube paper. Print a practice sheet on plain paper to make sure the formatting is correct so that you don't waste the sticker paper.

    • 3

      Create a document with an A4 page format and upload your designs into each of the cube blocks. Using an A4 format will contort your design to the same dimensions as the sticker paper.

    • 4

      Print your custom cubes and allow them to dry before applying them to the cube. Avoid touching the laminate until the application to avoid fingerprints.

    • 5

      Peel back the protective laminate and apply it to the top of the printed sheet carefully smoothing out any air bubbles. Remove the entire sticker cube from the printed sheet and smooth it along your Rubik's cube one side at a time to avoid crinkling.

    Ordering a Custom Photo Cube

    • 6

      Select the personalized Rubik's Cube from the Personalized Mall website and click on the "Personalize This Item" button to begin uploading pictures.

    • 7

      Go to the bottom of the page and click on each of the six blank boxes to upload photos for each side of the cube. Make the puzzle easier to solve by avoiding pictures that are similar in color and background such the beach or at a party.
