Improvisation Dice Instructions Page 2

What to Do with the pages you have printed.
The Dice parts pages that you print are a good starting point, but they must be backed up by a stiffer material.

It is necessary to apply the pages to a sturdy layer of cardboard.
Cereal Box Cardboard works very well for this.

Gather empty boxes, like cereal boxes or Cat food boxes etc. - and cut away the fronts and backs. Larger sized boxes work best, but two of the Dice parts are small, and can share a piece of cardboard if necessary.

Important tip: You will truly regret emptying the food out of these boxes in order to get the cardboard. To avoid BIG TROUBLE, ask for the boxes when they are already empty and about to be thrown away. It can be helpful to tape a small note to the box as a reminder.

With Your cardboard and printed page side by side, it's time to peel off the backing of the full page label, carefully line it up and apply it to the cardboard.

Now, I know what you're saying. You're saying

"Leona, Why can't I just print the Dice Parts onto regular paper
and glue them onto the Cardboard? "

The Answer is: You CAN use glue to apply regular printer paper to the cardboard. I would recommend a good quality Glue Stick. Just be sure that you have glue on the WHOLE page, and that it is dry before you try cutting out the Dice Part. Full Page peel-and-stick labels are recommended because they offer a cleaner, smoother and more uniform bond between the Page and the cardboard. This is Very important in Theater building, but not that vital for these dice. It is not possible to create them perfectly, and small imperfections should not effect the way they roll.

I usually like to get all of the printed pages applied to the cardboard before I begin cutting, but you don't have to wait. You can cut them out as they become available. It is up to you.

When you cut out the pieces:
- Always keep your fingers out of the way -
- Work Slowly. You will have more control -
- If you are cutting along a line, keep your eyes on where you are about to cut, not where you have already cut -
- Remember that adhesive tape can fix a LOT of mistakes -

Before long, You will have all of your pieces ready to go!

*Print the Dice Parts directly onto full sized ( 8.5" x 11" ) peel-and-stick labels.
