1. From assorted patterned papers, cut two 2-x-2-inch squares and one 2-x-8-1/4-inch strip.
2. Adhere the squares to the top and bottom of the cube; wrap and adhere the strip around the sides, slightly overlapping the ends.
3. Ink all edges.
4. Paint the circumference of the spool white and the upper and lower edges of the spool black.
5. Cut a 6-inch length of patterned paper the width of the center of your spool. Note: If your spool has a curved middle, make tiny cuts (about 1/16 inch apart and 1/8 inch long) all along the top and the bottom long edge.
6. Wrap and adhere the paper around the center of the spool, slightly overlapping the ends.
7. Punch one circle from a medallion-patterned paper.
8. Punch a 1/4-inch circle in the center. Ink the edges and adhere the paper to the top of the spool.
9. Hot-glue the spool to the top of the cube.
