   1 Err… that little tag right there saying FLCL… I might be getting old, but I don’t remember seeing this thing in that bizzare anime…

2. Genevamech October 31, 2007 @ 3:45 am

   2 It’s not a tag. It’s a DVD case to show scale. ie: It’s friggin’ huge. About 10″ or so.

    11 Please please PLEASE offer a few brief step-by-step instructions, it would be greatly appreciated! I’d love to make this as a Christmas gift for someone =) It looks fantastic.

12. Xirix December 14, 2007 @ 10:57 am

    12 I’d also like some step by step instructions, no matter how detailed. This looks just SO much more win than the official one that’s yet to be released. Plus it’ll be fun to make. Thanks

13. Rony December 15, 2007 @ 12:14 pm

    13 Yeah, i was going to make my boyfriend a paperweight but recently found out he liked stuffed things. so step-by-step instructions would be a god-send. this is so much nicer looking than the valve one, btw.

14. Madilayn December 18, 2007 @ 7:06 am

    14 I’ll add another voice asking for step by step instructions for this! My boyfriend wants one also!

15. YOle December 19, 2007 @ 7:41 am

    15 One more vote from me… I always wanted me a plushy companion cube… I think my girlfriend would like a matching one too.

16. Tirano December 19, 2007 @ 5:34 pm

    16 wow. the home made one looks stunning. How make one, and I’ll pay mucho money’s for it? XD Failing that, some step by step instruction for the rest of the cube would be divine!

    21 I’m not sure how old this thread is, but are there any other instructions to this? If so how do I get them? I need to get started on making one for a Valentine’s Day gift. Thank you!

    22 Not Rocket Science Weighted Companion Cube Plushie Sewing Pattern… So I got myself the Orange Box from Steam yesterday, which means that I bought one of the most original and fun Games of the last years: Portal. Portal has two noteworthy characters: GLaDOS, the main antagonist and the Weighted Companion Cube, the side…

23. Dove March 19, 2008 @ 3:35 am

    23 I’m pretty good at sewing, and I made myself one, but all my friends wanted one too, so I thought I might sell them. If you want one, send me an e-mail at endospore.inc(at)gmail.com with how much you’d be willing to pay, and if I get a good enough response I might just start selling them

24. BB April 11, 2008 @ 9:29 pm

    24 I thought you brought this plushie. It looks interesting. I haven’t made the papercraft version let alone try sewing. Give this one try. Hey Dove I don’t think you are entitled to sell the plush weighted companion cube unless you made the parts templates and own the intellectual rights. Give credit to Kidiron though.

25. BB April 11, 2008 @ 9:31 pm

    25 Sorry I forgot to ask. What do you use for the stuffing? Cube cushions are hard to find.

26. Confused August 09, 2008 @ 7:04 am

    26 There have been no answers to this at all. does anyone know anything? Steps? Contents? Whats needed to make this? or is this just a random posting to get traffic?

27. Very confused September 11, 2008 @ 9:08 am

    27 Gah! I really want to make one of these. Ive done sewing before, and if I get stuck, I could ask my Home Ec teacher to help me.. But does anyone have like instructions or atleast a full template?

28. Missingno December 09, 2008 @ 9:43 am

    28 The waighted conpanion cube will never threten to stab you…. and, infact, cant speak. I LOVE IT!!!!

    29 Silly ducks. I have some sewing experience and pattern making experience and this would be my advice, though I did not make this pattern, so I am just making up directions. Also, I haven’t tried it yet, but I like everyone else, have a boyfriend who needs a valentines present. Step 1: Cut out pink heart with about 1/4″ extra all the way around. More if your fabric seems to need a greater seam allowance (frays, etc.) Step 2: Fold the 1/4″ under the heart, with the right side out, sew on top of gray circle with pink thread. (may need to cut slits in 1/4″ allowance in places such as the round tops of the heart and the v in the middle on top of the heart) Step 3: Cut out circle (around heart) with extra 1/4″ allowance. Step 4: Fold 1/4″ edge of circle under and sew on top of darker gray square. (Cut out the square again with… probably 1/2″ extra fabric around the edge, but 1/4 will do.) Make 6 of these. Step 5: Sew together 6 sides into cube. Put right sides together and sew with 1/2″ or 1/4″ seam allowance on the wrong side. Either sew the 6 into a cross-like shape (3 wide, 4 long) like in the paper pattern for a cube) or sew 4 to make a ring, then add the top and bottom. Finished cube should be inside out, and leave a 2″ to 4″ opening in one side to turn cube right side out. Step 6: Cut out corner and tab pattern out of light gray, fussy fabric – again with 1/4″+ seam allowance. (The pattern that looks like it is only 3/4 there, and the little rectangle below) Sew sides of right angle (where the missing piece would be) together to make a cone shape. Fold under edge and sew on to corners of cube. You could even stuff a little between the cube and the corner piece to make it stand out extra. Sew tabs on the same way as everything else. Stuff cube and sew up opening

30. Ariel February 04, 2009 @ 1:13 pm

    30 Oh, and before stuffing and sewing up, or maybe after, whatever you prefer, take pink embroidery thread (or a zig-zag stitch) to add the lines.

31. Ariel February 04, 2009 @ 1:14 pm

    31 (Use pink embroidery thread or a zigzag stitch for the lines)

32. Natasha February 16, 2009 @ 1:21 pm

    32 This is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than the original, not to metion FREE………….of corse you have to pay for the material but still……………..

34. raven May 01, 2009 @ 2:12 am

    34 I HAVE made one of them! It’s all squishy and comfy! <3 I love it and have decided to not euthinize it despite what GLaDOS instructs me. XD

35. SuChan! August 18, 2009 @ 8:37 am

    35 Kawaii!…And easy to make! ^__^ Thank youz!

36. Lola March 10, 2010 @ 2:03 am

    36 if you have some sewing experience you should know what to do with the pattern pieces up there. if you don’t, this will probably be difficult to make even with step-by-step instructions so you might want to start with something a little easier until you’ve got a better grasp on it all.

37. Emily June 02, 2010 @ 1:57 am

    37 I’ve been working on this cube in my spare time for the last two weeks and it’s quite the project. The work is simple enough, but it is VERY time consuming with all the pattern outline, then cutting, then sewing all the little pieces. What I did for the pink lines because they didn’t stand out enough using just pink thread and doing the satin stitch (the zigzag stitch, but all scrunched together) I cut out strips of pink felt from when I did my hearts to stretch across the whole of the squares (thing giant pink plus signs) and satin stitched over those a couple of times. Doing that instead of just the little pieces of pink helps because I could center my heart and circle pieces better and the little silver tab pieces better too. It was a hassle doing it that way, but, in the end I’m soooo glad I did it like that, made my life easier in the long run. My advice to future project doers: buy more than one of each color of thread. You are going to run out, especially if you’re doing a buttload of satin stitching. I’ve had to make 2 separate trips to Jo-Ann Fabrics because I ran out of thread with just a tiny amount left to do with that color. One more piece of advice: I used Crayola marker to draw on my patterns for three reasons: 1.) It works better than using fabric pencils (the pencil catches on the fabric because it’s felt); 2.) it gives you that extra 3/8 of an inch extra you need for satin stitching; 3.) it washed out WONDERFULLY! I put all my stuff in the washer and all the blue came right out, no worries about staining. Good luck!

    38 Also, this website owner (http://theindigophial.blogspot.com/2009/02/companion-cube-softie-tutorial.html) put in a zipper on hers and so did I. Mostly because when it came time to so the hand stitch parts on my completed “core” of the cube, it made my life much easier. Also, it’ll help when you need to clean your cube and when you need to stuff it with more filling. Just open the zipper and you’re done! Plus, it makes for a neat storage compartment.

39. Lynzie September 21, 2010 @ 1:57 pm

    39 I’m serious about buying this home-made plush off of you or anyone else willing to make it. My friend wants one so bad, but the official ones looks so WEIRD, and my sewing skills are so lacking. Anyone, PLEASE! T^T

40. Cassandra October 01, 2010 @ 3:39 pm

    40 Just about to attempt this, and was wondering (just a matter of personal preference) How much fabric of the three colors would you buy? I have a tendency to drastically overbuy yardage for my sewing projects, and as a result have never had to develop a discerning eye for how much is needed. Thanks so much! -Cass

    41 I made one of these because I LOVE PORTAL and decided to make a more detailed version to help people out… check out my video >>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk8v9xGvVnw <<<<
