In this tutorial you'll learn how to make a magnetic origami Rubik's Cube step by step. This fully functional Rubik’s Cube is a modular origami and each cube is made from a single sheet of paper. The “stickers” are also origami units, all connected without glue.
To make it fully functional, I've attached magnets inside the cubes using double sided tape.

► Some videos to help you make the 5x5 grid easily:
● Use the first sheet to fold the 5x5 grid quickly: https://youtu.be/2xMUzgL4LDc
● Alternative method to fold 5ths: https://youtu.be/Fj50UNCR4hM

► DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Intermediate

► PAPER:
I recommend using 9cm x 9cm origami paper. If you use larger sizes, the cube will be difficult to handle. This is the number of sheets you’ll need:
● 27 sheets for the cube units (black)
● 6 sheets to be cut into smaller rectangles for the "sticker" units (red, blue, green, yellow, white and orange)

► MAGNETS:
I’ve tried a variety of Neodymium magnets. I’m not sure if these are the optimal sizes, but worked for this project:
● 6mm diameter x 3mm thick (12 units)
● 5mm diameter x 1mm thick (96 units)

Use double sided tape to attach them inside the cubes. Pay close attention to the polarity and positioning!
