It took a little thinking to make my "Life" size Die so I am sparing you the trouble and posting instructions:
Cut two equal pieces of white fabric. They should each be about three times as long as they are wide with a quarter inch seam allowance on each side.
Each piece of fabric will be folded in three sections. See the picture for how the pieces will match up for sewing.
It is best to leave a whole side open so you can sew your dots on.
I’m Seeing Spots!
Every die needs it’s dots. To make mine I traced our drink coasters. They just seemed to be the right size. You will need 21 dots (or more if you loose them like me!).
I just sewed mine directly on each side. It is probably easier to sew them on before you put the die together, but I wanted to be sure I got them on the right sides. Another option is to use No Sew and glue them on!
Remember when placing your dots, that opposite sides should equal 7.
When all that is done, just stuff it and stitch it! It took about 2 bags of stuffing to do mine. Of course this will vary with size.
Does all this seem to complicated? E-Mail Me to buy mine!
