Interesting, right? The above instruction of this DIY cube craft is just an example. During the process of stringing beads, you can also string beads at random. This cube craft can not only be used as a necklace pendant, but also can be used as a tool to teach your kids to learn 6 numbers, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Have a nice try!
