A printable dice template (blank or with dots). You can find some free printable dice templates online, such as [this one] or [this one].

A scissors or a craft knife to cut out the template.

A ruler or a bone folder to score the folding lines.

A glue stick or a tape to assemble the dice.

A pen or a marker to draw the dots on the blank template (optional).

Steps

Follow these steps to make a 5 sided dice:

Download and print the dice template of your choice on an A4 or letter size paper. You can choose from a blank template or a template with dots. The blank template allows you to customize the dice with your own colors and symbols, while the template with dots is ready to use.

Cut out the template along the solid lines. You should have a pentagon-shaped net with five triangular flaps.

Score the folding lines along the dashed lines. This will make it easier to fold the net into a 3D shape.

If you are using a blank template, draw the dots on each face of the net. You can use a pen or a marker of any color. The number of dots on each face should be from 1 to 5, and they should be arranged in a symmetrical pattern. You can use [this image] as a reference.

Fold the net along the folding lines into a 3D shape. Apply some glue or tape on the flaps and stick them to the corresponding faces. Make sure that the edges are aligned and that there are no gaps between the faces.

Let the glue dry completely before using your dice. You can also decorate your dice with stickers, glitter, or paint if you want.

Conclusion

Making a 5 sided dice is a fun and easy craft project that you can do with your kids or friends. You can use your homemade dice for playing games, learning math, or creating art. You can also experiment with different shapes and sizes of dice by finding or creating templates for other polyhedrons, such as octahedrons or dodecahedrons. Have fun and enjoy your dice!
