How To Make Paper Dice (with Free Printable!)
How to make paper dice with your kids.
Games are an amazing way for kids to learn. Taking turns, counting, strategy. And an important part of games is dice.
Dice alone are great ways to learn. Counting, number recognition, addition and subtraction. All of the number sense skills come out with dice. Don’t stop with numbers. You can put any symbol that you want on dice.
The problem can be finding dice that have what you need on them. Or finding the dice that you have in the jumble of toys in the playroom.
That doesn’t have to be an issue though. You can print up your own dice and make exactly what you need when you need it.
Here is how to make paper dice at home with a free printable pattern.

What's In This Post?
Supplies To Make Your Own Dice
Steps to make your own dice, play with your dice, instructions, how to make paper dice.
This is a super easy fix if you need dice with specific markings or just don’t want to buy one.
- Printable Dice Pattern
Step one is to print out the pattern.
If you want to work on scissor skills with your child, this is a great chance for them to help out. Do know that the dice will be easiest to make and will roll best if the lines are cut straight.
You want to cut out the entire pattern.
Write in your numbers or symbols on the six big squares. This is a great chance to let your child color and personalize the dice!
Then fold the dice in on itself on the interior lines. Use the flaps to tape or glue your dice together.
It’s that easy! I will say that an adult will probably need to help with the taping. It can be hard for little hands to hold everything in place. But once that is done you are ready for all the math games you can think of!
(And who knows, maybe it will get your kiddos interested in learning more about origami! )

Make simple paper dice at home for games and great math learning activities!

Published: Nov 19, 2022 by Molly · This post may contain affiliate links.
Sharing is caring!
This printable dice template lets you make dice to play your favorite games even if you don't have any real dice on hand. Here we'll show step by step you how to make a paper dice.

We have lots of fun printable roll a dice games here on our site, but realized that you may not have a pair of real dice on hand.
So we came up with a quick and easy solution. Printable dice! Our dice template makes it super easy to grab, print and fold your dice in only a few minutes.
Leaving you lots of time to play your favorite games.
These will come in handy for all sorts of fun printable activities.
We even include a blank dice template so you can create your own custom dice if have something creative in mind.
The Printable Paper Dice Templates
We have six different dice templates so that you can find just the right one for your needs.
We have larger printable dice that measure about 2 inches wide when assembled.

The first one is a printer friendly black and white version.

And since my kids love ALL things rainbows, we created a fun bright colorful template as well.

And if you're feeling extra creative, we have a blank dice printable template so that you can fill the spaces with any type of shapes or designs you like or need.
This one is good for printing on colored paper and adding white punch-out holes or stickers to it. Kids will love creating their own custom dice to play with.
The blank ones are also great for creating your own dice game with, or creating fun math games.

And if you need a smaller printable paper dice template we have these ones, that measure to 1.2-inch cube when assembled.
They're just smaller versions of the three larger templates above.
How to Make Paper Dice
First, grab and print out the dice template. You'll find it at the end of this tutorial.
You'll also need either tape or craft glue to hold the cube shape together.
You can choose from one of the three templates that we provide.
The PDF file will come with all 6 dice in one file. So I suggest when printing, select the actual page number of the one you want and just print that one out.
It'll save you paper and ink.
Then cut the template out around the solid lines. Don't cut through the dotted areas.
You'll end up with a shape like this.

The fold the tabs on the dotted lines one a flat surface to make sure you create a nice sharp fold.
Then start folding the shape up to make a cube. Here's a step by step video to assemble the paper dice from Just the Art Teacher.
For more durable paper dice, I recommend using cardstock to print out your templates. This will make for a sturdier cube shape and they will last much longer.

Origami Dice

Great for games or deciding things. I tried some origami I found for a rose that turns into a cube, mine didn't turn out very well, but I will make it eventually. The folding for the petals worked well for a cube shape, so I used that and just folded the end in the opposite direction so I could have it smooth on the outside.

You Will Need

Fold your paper in half, then fold each end to the center line.

Take the top right corner and fold it like the picture shows, and do the same with the bottom left.

Fold it down on the crease line where the picture shows.

It should now look like this. Repeat the same for the other side.

It should now look like this.

Flip it over and fold the flaps you see at the end over.

Flip it over again, and fold the ends up so you get a square shape like the picture shows. Repeat these steps until you create 5 more.

To assemble it, just slip the ends in like the picture shows.

Just fit them together until it's finished. When it's done you can decorate it like normal dice, or like this one I wrote things I like to bake on it since I can't decide and others I use to decide also can't pick.

Our DIY Guide
Before you commence making your dice, you need to find out what you need. There are several materials you require; such as:
A printable dice pattern Glue/ tape Scissors
Print out your pattern. Suppose you want to work out scissor skills with your child. This is an excellent chance for them to help you out. You can print out many copies you require to make the die you love.
Cut along its outside lines
Fold your die along each of the six sides, ensure that it is precisely along these lines.
Using small pieces of your clear tape, ensure you tape every age on another edge to acquire an excellent cube.
Roll your die and examine whether it works efficiently; then, you can immediately play. Your dice might look lopsided, but they can work excellently. If you do not like what you have made, you can create many to find what you love.
Getting More Dice Templates
In the current generation, Google gives you a solution to all your problems. Furthermore, you can quickly and easily get dozens of templates by googling the dice templates. Most of these templates already have numerals or dots, while some are blank. Many people usually prefer going for the blank because it allows them and their loved ones to use anything, especially on the sides. Moreover, it is easy, but it requires you to master many facts.
Additionally, this method guarantees your children a bonus by allowing them to practice using fine motor precision. For example, you can color each side using different colors. Likewise, you need visual motor skills to cut this out, including motor planning plus bilateral coordination, which helps tape and fold it together. However, if you have a 4-year old child, your assistance will be of great help, but if your child finds the six-sides die easy, try and observe if they can construct.
If you do not like the idea of printing, you can opt for another option. Find a box that is not used, tape, scissors, wrapping paper, or a blank construction paper. You need to make sure it features six equal sides and is not weighted in the middle. This means it will function like the non-bias die. It is an excellent idea because it enables your child to practice wrapping like a gift. It works best for most kids.
Playing dice plays a crucial part in gaming since it has a strategy, counting and taking turns. A pair of dice offers you perfect ways to learn. With it, you can quickly learn subtraction, addition, number recognition as well as counting. Apart from using numbers on dice, you can also use symbols that you require on your dice. However, it is not easy to find a dice that contains what you demand on them, but you can consider printing your dice because it allows you to make what you require whenever you need it.
Furthermore, there are multiple types or kinds of dice, such as:
- Standard or ordinary dice, which incorporates dots, or even numbers on every face
- Dice on the Jumanji with pictures on all surfaces
- Dice with yin as well as yang symbols
- A few board games also utilize dice with positive and negative numbers on every surface
- Poker dice featuring King, Queen, and Jack pictures
- Color dice with varying colors on every given surface
Therefore, this article will guide you on how to make your paper dice at home. Bear in mind that this falls under standard and ordinary dice because it features dots or numbers on every given side. In addition, those who do not want to buy usually consider making theirs at home because it is super easy.
With the steps mentioned above, you should not find it difficult to make dice because these steps are straightforward. Remember. Board games are the best way for you to keep your family busy as well as occupied.

Whip up one of these sweet little origami rings in no time with our easy tutorial! They make cute little gifts to give to friends and family. Learning how to fold them is a cool trick to show off whenever you have a piece of paper available!
Cute idea: Impress your other half or friends by folding the receipts from your favourite restaurants as cute keepsakes! You could keep them in a jar to remember all the fun dates you’ve had!
Not only are these fun for us big kids, but they are the ideal way to keep little kids entertained. They are quick and easy to make, and they’ll love playing dress up or making them for friends!
The origami ring is so simple to fold too, we are going to take you through the process with written instructions and photos to follow along with. The end result is a cute paper ring with a cat’s face on it!
It requires just a single piece of square paper. The length of the paper should roughly fit around your finger. I am using 7.5 x 7.5cm origami paper for mine, but you can always do a bit of experimenting with sizes.
I would advise practising with scrap paper first, and when you have the technique down, use your favourite papers. This paper folding craft works particularly well with shiny, metallic and patterned papers.

You Will Need
- 7.5cm x 7.5cm origami paper
Total time:
Folding your origami ring.
Take your sheet of 7.5×7.5cm paper (or size that fits your finger) and fold in half and then in half again.
Press down the folds firmly.

Unfold the paper back to where you started. Fold the outer two edges in to meet the middle fold.

Unfold the paper back to where you started. Take one side and fold it up to the first line. Rotate the paper and repeat for the opposite side.

Unfold back to where you started. Fold up one side to create another fold. Flip over your paper.

Fold the two upper corners into the centre of the paper, it will look a bit like a paper aeroplane.

Flip over the paper and fold your triangle down on the second line, so it meets the centre of the paper.

Create the cat’s ears
Flip the paper back over. Push your finger under the flap of the paper and fold on both sides to create a kind of bow shape.
Fold the ears into points.

Fold up the bottom of the paper into an equal fold, and continue folding. You will be able to follow the folds you made earlier.
Keep folding until you see a heart shape.

Fold the bottom of the heart point upwards underneath the ring strap.

Flip it over and draw an adorable cat face!

Wrap the ring around your finger to turn it into a circle.
Fold one side of the strap in half lengthways and tuck it into the other.
Wear your paper rings with pride!

Little origami with a big impact!
Sometimes the smallest projects are the most enjoyable. Once you’ve learnt the origami paper ring, you can adapt it into different shapes and sizes to give to friends and family!
Looking to keep the kids interested in origami?
You’re in luck, we got lots of kids origami projects for them to try. There’s even an easy video to follow along with if they are more of a visual learner!

How to Make Your Own Reusable Paper Towels
It's time to ditch single-use rolls for good..
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/Headshot-8d1308112718405abc26d369f339e1c2.jpg)
Whether you use them to wipe up spills or dry off your washed produce, it's easy to quickly reach for a paper towel in the kitchen. But it turns out, the convenience may not be worth the environmental impact. Americans use more than 13 billion pounds of paper towels each year —and since most paper towels are not recyclable , that equates to 13 billion pounds of extra trash in the landfill.
Luckily, there's an alternative, and you can easily make them at home. To make your own reusable paper towels, you'll need a few kinds of fabric and basic sewing skills—we'll walk you through the rest! No matter what you use them for, these reusable paper towels will quickly become your go-to tool in the kitchen.
How to Make Reusable Paper Towels
Supplies needed.
- 1 yard of flannel
- 1 yard of waffle-woven cotton
- Fusible interfacing
- Plastic snaps
- Snaps fastener tool
- Fabric marker
- Cutting mat
- Rotary cutter
- Sewing machine
Step-by-Step Directions
Follow these how-to instructions to make your own reusable paper towels. You should be able to make one towel in under an hour.
Step 1: Wash and Cut Fabric
Pick up one yard of flannel and one yard of waffle-woven fabric in colors and patterns you like. Go with classic white, or use patterned fabrics that will show fewer stains. Pre-wash and dry the fabrics, then lay them down with right sides together. Use a rotary cutter ($11, Target ) or fabric scissors to cut the fabric. For large towels, you will need five 8 1/2 x 11-inch rectangles of each fabric. To create smaller towels, cut five 6 x 11-inch rectangles of each fabric. You'll have two towel sizes on your finished roll. Cut an 11 x 14-inch piece of flannel for the center of the tube.
Step 2: Cut and Iron Interfacing
Once you've prepped the fabric, use scissors to cut 40 1-inch squares of fusible interfacing ($4, Joann ). Iron a square of interfacing to corners of each fabric set.
Step 3: Sew Fabric Sets
Sew each fabric set (one piece of flannel and one piece of waffle-weave) right-sides together using a 1/4-inch seam allowance, leaving a two-inch opening at the bottom of each set. Clip the corners. Then turn each set right-side out and fold in the edges at the opening. Iron the seams, then topstitch 1/8-inch around the entire edge of the towel. Repeat with all the towels.
To form the center fabric tube, fold the top edge wrong sides together. Topstitch to create a finished edge and repeat on the bottom edge. Fold the fabric lengthwise, right sides together. Topstitch to form a tube and turn right side out.
Step 4: Add Snaps
To connect each towel together so that they nicely roll up together on a paper towel holder, add snaps ($3, Michaels ) to each towel corner and on the tube. Use a fabric marker to mark the location of snaps on the tube, 1/2-inch from the edge of each corner. Using a washable fabric marker ($5, Joann ), measure and mark ½-inch from the edge of each towel corner. Poke a hole in the snap location using snap pliers (or just look for sew-on snaps that don't require a special tool), then install the snaps. For each towel, be sure to put the female side up on one 11-inch side and a female side down on the other 11-inch side.
Step 5: Create Paper Towel Tube Shape
Lay the towels down, alternating sizes, and snap together. Snap one edge of towels to the inner tube and roll them up to use them. Slide the rolled-up towel tube onto your existing paper towel holder. To clean your reusable kitchen towels, wash them in your washing machine with detergent or bleach and dry them completely.

How to Make Paper in Minecraft: Crafting Recipe Guide
