The 12-Lizard Cube

LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY

Twelve colorful lizards fit perfectly together to form this intriguing cube form. The assembly of the individual pieces is straightforward, and the repetition will go a long way toward building your paper model-making skills, so this project is a fine choice to begin with. The finished piece will make a handsome display on your shelf or desk, but fun and satisfaction of assembling the finished pieces into a perfect cube will have you reaching for the puzzle again and again.

1 Pop out the parts for a lizard puzzle piece. Use a craft knife to release any stubborn parts, and trim away any flashing. Install all creases as indicated. Glue tab A to receiving area A.

2 Glue tab B to receiving area B, and then glue tab C to receiving area C. Continue around the form in a clockwise fashion, gluing tabs as you go until you glue tab Y to receiving area Y.

3 Apply glue to tabs Z-1 and Z-2, and simultaneously adhere them to receiving areas Z-1 and Z-2, holding them together while the glue sets to complete the form. Repeat steps 1–3 to assemble the remaining 11 lizard pieces. Assemble the cube!
