Cubeecraft provides you with templates that you download and print, then cut out and assemble to make cute, free desk accessories. I chose my fave, <a href="http://www.geeksugar.com/tag/mario" >Mario</a>, and cutting and putting him together took patience I haven't had since the third grade. </p> <p>Cubeecrafts don't require glue or tape, although I desperately wanted to cheat and add both around hour two, but I persevered, and only a few obscenities were hurled at my Mario. But look! I did it! Don't let anyone tell you that geeksugar doesn't walk the walk. </p> <p>Oh, and they recommend that you use craft paper, instead of standard printer paper - sadly, I print first and ask questions later, which is why my guy looks a little <i>special</i>. I still love you Mario!</p> <p><div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='http://www.geeksugar.com/1654664'>View 3 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div></p> http://www.geeksugar.com/1654501#comment Website of the Day desk accessories Cubeecraft Fri, 23 May 2008 13:00:52 -0700 GeekSugar http://www.geeksugar.com/1654501 http://www.geeksugar.com/1654664 <a href="http://www.geeksugar.com/1654664"><img width=120 height=160 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/1/15111/21_2008/mario1_0.large.JPG'></div></a> <div class='gallery_thumbnail'> <a href='/1654664'></a> </div> The Mario I created! <div class='call_to_action'> <!-- gallery teaser --><a href="/1654664?page=0,0,0">View Slideshow ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --> </div> <hr class=space> http://www.geeksugar.com/1654664#comment Thu, 22 May 2008 17:17:49 -0700 GeekSugar http://www.geeksugar.com/1654664 http://www.geeksugar.com/2572759 <a href="http://www.geeksugar.com/2572759"><img width=160 height=160 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/1/15111/49_2008/6830d43e13304926_geeky-diy-collage.large.jpg'></div></a><p>On we go with the <a href="http://www.geeksugar.com/tag/best+of+2008" >Best of 2008</a> series!
